Small browser and Linux desktop extension to open links on the current virtual desktop. https://github.com/Janhouse/tab-in-workspace
It's a small quality of life improvement but I wonder why this does not exist out of the box.
I could probably make it a bit easier to set up, but it would then require another weekend. :))

The TXT records are based on the Bonjour Printing Spec [0] which list out which fields so it knows the type of the printer and it uses the SRV port to find the ipp port so it can contact the printer.
Further investigation using rvictl (iOS packet sniffing) showed the IPP traffic, which is really http API. It is via this API that iOS determines what paper is supported from what tray.
The path is then clear: create my own mDNS service that returns a printer on my own port, this IPP port acts as a reverse proxy to the real printer's IPP port, but it modifies the "media-col-ready" attribute to make iOS think A6 is loaded into the manual try.
It was extremely painful, but it was done: https://github.com/LittleLightLittleFire/fakeprinter
