Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It doesn't look like this supports MacOS, given how tied it is to avahi?
Describe the solution you'd like
There appears to be no easy way to point MacOS cups to an existing cups server without overwriting client.conf (which naturally breaks local-only printing). Adding MacOS support would fix this.

Research direction
The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how cups-browsed depends on Avahi and how macOS CUPS uses client.conf; define a supported approach that connects to an existing CUPS server without breaking local-only printing. Done should include working macOS support and verification of both remote and local printing.
