Description

Hi there,

thanks for the great work!

I am using IPP-USB but I also do want to programatically test its functionality. I have a linux system and am testing normal/non-ipp usb printers using the USB printer gadget (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/usb/gadget_printer.rst). Is there a way of simulating a usb printer that than will be found by IPP-USB?

Regards
Lars
