This needs to be transferred to the cups-browsed project; not working at the moment...

Sounds similar to what I experienced: https://mvysny.github.io/canon-pixma-cups-tls/ . Long story short - if your printer supports IPPS, then that's what Linux picks; but if the printer can't do TLS1.3 then no printing will happen. Solution in my case: /etc/cups/client.conf: SSLOptions NoSystem MinTLS1.2 MaxTLS1.2 (and also /var/snap/cups/common/etc/cups/client.conf if you're on Ubuntu and have cups both as deb and as snap: https://mvysny.github.io/ubuntu-two-cupses/ )
