I had a suspicion ipp-over-usb daemon like ipp-usb or ippusbxd could
help, but I wasn't sure (it was created for supporting USB printer
devices), so didn't want to spread any mystification.

ipp-over-usb daemons - ipp-usb and ippusbxd - are on my list what to
package, they will come into Fedora this year (I hope).
