ippfind utility not available; cups cannot locate IPP printer

Description

CUPS depends upon ippfind to locate IPP printers by name. When ippfind is not available, CUPS issues warnings.

Different Linux distros bundle ippfind in different ways (some with cups-ipp-utils, alongside ipptool, and some separately). I don't have a great suggestion for packaging this offhand.

I'm marking this as a task, because our current CUPS solution - which otherwise works quite well - is just slightly incomplete without this piece.

unfortunately there is a bit more work attached to that. as the DNS service it uses is a piece of SW we don't have atm. So we would need to port that first. And unfortunately 2 there are no resources (power and money wise) we have right now for this port.
