When you say "network printing", do you mean printing using some network service or using my network printer at home?
I mean using your networked printer at home.
The former would maybe have been called Cloud Printing by current buzzword standards, and much less interesting (IMO).

A 'raw' (port 9001) possibility is what I miss.
If it is behind a foomatic pipeline, as in your case, it is way beyond the scope of this app, and indeed sometimes very complicated, not to mention possibly x86-centric. That's the limitation of not using CUPS. Not entirely sure when IPP became widely supported, but it sounds like 10 years ago or so, with some printers upwards of 20 years old.

I am looking at standard raster formats though (still on IPP), they seem doable.
