OK.

I got that straight out of the IPP Everywhere FAQ, but the point I did
not state and should have is, Fedora 30 definitely far exceeds the
minimum requirement. That was also the point of pointing out Android
4.4 supports it.

I'm completely fine with narrowing this to an IPP Everywhere printer
for Fedora 30. From yesterday's QA meeting, I was understanding they
don't have an IPP Everywhere printer, but figured it should be
possible to track down an IPP 2.0+ printer. So yeah if there's an IPP
Everwhere test printer handy, just go with that from the outset.
I'm not entirely sure who is exactly meant as Fedora QA to be honest.
IMHO since most developers in Fedora works on RHEL+CentOS too, I would
expect similar thing on QA part. And RHEL QE now has IPP Everywhere
printer available, so as CUPS maintainer can test if it works.
