I tried this today and I got the same result. It prints the PDF content
as text. First line was something like %PDF.

But hang on---I must explain that my lab has been destroyed. I was
running FreeBSD and getting to know the system. It turns out FreeBSD
doesn't suspend to disk yet, so I gave OpenBSD a try and I lost my
ability to boot into FreeBSD. The test above I did today was actually
on OpenBSD.

Since you're curious, I can try to dual boot and continue our tests.
I'll reinstall FreeBSD if necessary. My experience so far with respect
to the printer is that all the behavior I saw in FreeBSD is present here
in OpenBSD too. But I'll let you guide the investigation. If we should
get back to FreeBSD, I will.

By the way, right now the printer is installed with the lpadmin command
line that you recommended first. CUPS sees the printer. When I try to
print a couple of pages from a PDF opened in Firefox, I see the printer
available in the printing dialog. However, the printer doesn't do
anything. I see no errors. Both CUPS logs---access_log and
error_log---display no entry relative to this attempt at print.

(I did remove in CUPS the printer that was there before.)

This situation is also the same thing I saw in FreeBSD when I first
tried to use IPP.

By the way, here's the output of that command you suggested in a
previous follow-up. (Some very long lines will be included.) From the
output, I found the URL http://BRWB052162167A6/net/net/airprint.html and
there's a lot of detailed information about the printer there.

Thanks! I explained above that I destroyed the FreeBSD-lab. It turns
out here on OpenBSD ipptool(1) is available. Let me know anything else
you'd like to look at. Thanks!
