Try connecting it just with IPP to see if it works.
If it does, at least then we can narrow it down to the security protocol.

I think so, I am moving this a new topic in the systems problem because this is now a cups issue.  I am obviously not understanding how cups is either working or not working :)

Question: Are you running a firewall? If so, it could be blocking the ports required by CUPS/IPP. See: https://www.cups.org/doc/firewalls.html

FYI: Here are the cups related packages I have installed:
cups
cups-filters
cups-openrc
cups-pdf
libcups
libcupsfilters
python-pycups

Here is my printer config in /etc/cups:

this is what is choking it.  This is a non-existing network local on my network
