- what type of printer have you used wifi/network, usb or BT
- did you need to sort out the ppd file separately, or is that what you're in awe about (no need to do anything)?
- I'm not an Easy Debian user.
- I have a CUPS server on my network gateway with a USB Epson Photo R800 printer.
- No .ppd installs were necessary.

I haven't confirmed with pcap, but it appears CUPS' web interface likes to 301-redirect you to whatever host on the network is advertising the printer you wish to use. Which was unexpectedly, surprisingly sensible and easy.
