DeviceURI dnssd://Brother%20HL-3170CDW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=e3248000-80ce-11db-8000-30055c5516df

There's no I number in sight. I'm guessing that when I upgraded to chimaera, CUPS
decided to use dnssd instead of an IP number, and updated its printers.conf file
accordingly. Could it ne that my printer doesn't do dnsdd?

I think I'll have to remove the printer from CUPS entirely and add it back again.
Maybe even purge and re-install CUPS if necessary.
