Re:Attacking Unix Systems via Cups, Part I by yrro on Friday September 27, 2024 @11:52AM (#41672060)
Modern cups discovered printers via mDNS and does indeed automatically create temporary destinations for them. This only works with "IPP Everywhere" printers which are 'driverless', i.e., the risk of doing this is limited since there's no printer model-specific software that needs to be run on the local machine to print to a remote printer, as opposed to the legacy protocol implemented (apparently unsafely!) by cups-browsed.
