Using IPP Printers with CUPS and Powershell

If you have multiple printers, you likely have a print server running. If not, I’d recommend spinning up a small Linux VM (Preferrably Debian) and set it as your printing portal, so to speak. IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is the defacto standard for sending print jobs over a modern network. Yes, LPR and RAW still work (and maybe even use it under the hood), but industry is moving. This guide will explain and show how to use Powershell on your Windows computer(s) to connect to a CUPS-based printer over IPP.
