This is a classic problem. cups-browsed is installed, but
intially there was no /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf file. When I
purged and reinstalled I acquired it.

My printer is seen when I run localfile:631. Its IP is 10.0.23.
The addresss is pingable.

I look at cups-browsed log and see this line:

Sat Feb 28 15:38:01 2026 Network interfaces: lo (127.0.0.1, localhost), wlan0
(10.0.0.48, 10.0.0.48*), lo (::1), wlan0 (2601:182:500:d170::244f),
wlan0 (2601:182:500:d170:d3cd:7471:c6a2:f255), wlan0 (fe80::1b84:dac1:7...

Is this saying that the printer address is 10.0.0.48?

The /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf file has only one uncommented line:

BrowseRemoteProtocols dnssd

The other options are CUPS, DLAP, none

In the file I tried to filter the search with make and model of my
printer, but didn't help.

One option is the manually construct the
/etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf file, have no idea what to put into
it.
