FWIW, the current SLP integration with CUPS (hopefully to be released
in the next patch update, e.g. 1.1.10) provides one registration for
each local print queue on the system, e.g.:

    ipp://address/printers/MyPrinter1
    ipp://address/printers/MyPrinter2
    ipp://address/printers/MyPrinter3
    ipp://address/printers/MyPrinter4

We don't try to enumerate all of the possible addresses (e.g. from
multiple interfaces), although that might be added in a future
version.
