Description

Description
Since NC has a (very basic) Printer app, I think it would benefit NCP as a whole (in your docker image especially) to include cups and its dependencies in your image. I'm still trying to figure out how to print my files from NC/NCP itself without any success :( Does anybody know how?

The Printer app: https://github.com/e-alfred/nextcloud-printer/

Example
There's the NCP button/link at the top, and include cups web ui link as well to configure cups server to add your printer.
There's also a printer option at the sidebar to add/configure whatever's necessary for the Printer app to work.

Keep up the good work! Cheers!

Research direction

Review the NCP Docker image and configuration entry points, along with the linked Nextcloud Printer app, to determine how CUPS and its dependencies would be included. Done means the image provides a usable CUPS server and exposes links or navigation for its web UI and printer configuration.
