Description
Hello,
On linux clients when the same printer is defined through different uris ( like ipps://... vs ipp:// ) a check is made in order to verify whether the printer supports the requested job attributes (supports_job_attributes_requested in cups-browsed.c). But there is a problem because human readable values are compared to internal ones. Example: SinglePortrait vs staple-top-left. I'm not sure which one should be remapped before comparison...

Research direction
Start in cups-browsed.c at supports_job_attributes_requested, where printer support is checked when the same printer has different URIs. Trace how human-readable and internal job-attribute values are obtained and compared, using the SinglePortrait versus staple-top-left example. Done means equivalent values are compared consistently for this check.
