There are users who depend on GTK's non-CUPS behaviour? Heaven help
them! They are expecting an experience divorced from what the the
printing system provides. They will possibly be shocked when using
bookworm.

The one thing GTK did correctly on buster and bullseye was handle
the shared queues of remote CUPS servers. On bookworm these are are
now inaccessible. A regression in its so-called "fallback" status?
I do not think I will lose much sleep over this :).
