Smith,

I did a quick check of the printers in my home lab:

    ippfind --exec ipptool -tv '{}' get-printer-attributes.test \; | grep printer-name

and while the HP printers do indeed put the hostname in there (uppercased) all of the rest seem to put the model name or make and model. CUPS and PAPPL use the local queue name which is usually some variation of make and/or model (but users can change that...)
