Following up from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2369654#c36 where Zdenek Dohnal wrote:

"I could try to update libppd (driverless) PPD generator to show raster as well, so users are not locked in for IPP Everywhere."

I agree that this would be useful since currently it is quite complicated to resolve the situation for the affected users. It involves:
1. Setting up the printer "normally" with the driverless driver.
2. Finding out the printer's exact name.
3. Reinstalling the printer with IPP Everywhere driver (the default driverless driver doesn't work with print as raster option):
   lpadmin -p <printer-name> -m everywhere -E
4. Setting the printer to print as raster by default:
   lpadmin -p <printer-name> -o print-as-raster-default=true

Reproducible: Always
