This installed the printer just fine in CUPS.  However, when I try to
print something with it, it seems CUPS won't even send the job to the
printer and annonates an error message in /var/log/cups/access_log:

Looks to me like a bug in FreeBSD's CUPS port.
Rebuild CUPS with ipptool(1) on.
$ ipptool -tv ipp://BRWB052162167A6/ipp/print get-printer-attributes.test

Hi, John!  I was missing the package cups-filters-1.28.17_6.  After I
installed it, that error vanished and I've been able to print with CUPS
just fine, minus an issue with two-sided print outs (they're all coming
out with the flip long edge option, no matter what I choose).

Assuming Get-Printer-Attributes passes, what is document-format-supported?

I have not installed CUPS from the Ports Collection.  I pkg-installed
it.  To try the ipptool, I think I'd need to compile it and reset up
everything.  Maybe I will.  Maybe I should be using IPP, but it's not
clear what I'd be gaining exactly.
