| The IP connection between CUPS and the Printer Application allows both being in different sandboxes (for example being installed from different Snap packages) and the printer setup is completely automatic. When the Printer Application's daemon is running and the printer is connected and turned on, the daemon discovers the printer and automatically advertises it on the local machine via DNS-SD. Then CUPS discovers the printer and automatically sets up a print queue with an auto-generated PPD file. | The IP connection between CUPS and the Printer Application allows both being in different sandboxes (for example being installed from different Snap packages) and the printer setup is completely automatic.
