Research direction

Compare the existing OCI container images for CUPS and the four OpenPrinting Printer Applications, then review ipp-usb's repository and packaging entry points. Done means an OCI image for ipp-usb is buildable and available through the intended distribution channel, ideally DockerHub, so it can complete the OpenPrinting container stack.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As we have OCI container images for CUPS and for the 4 retro-fitting Printer Applications at OpenPrinting, we also want to have an OCI container image of the IPP-over-USB daemon ipp-usb.

This way we can provide the full printing stack as OCI container images, ideally on DockerHub. This allows to add printing functionality to most immutable distributions, and also to distributions in general, using official packages of OpenPrinting.
