What is the modern way to connect a MacOS laptop to a CUPS print server (not just individual printers), where the two systems are on different subnets (i.e. mDNS does not work)? Is it possible, or does the server need to be on the same subnet? Possible options seem to be: 1. install cups-browsed (does not appear to exist on modern MacOS) 1. Configuring client.conf to point at remote server (this removes local printers though) 1. Setting up DNS-SD as per http://www.dns-sd.org/ServerStaticSetup.html#AirPrint None of these appear to be a viable option to get MacOS to discover a CUPS server on a different subnet using only local changes. "Modern" in this case should mean it works on MacOS 11 and higher.
