After looking at the capture:

1. The traffic sure doesn't look anything like IPP even though the TCP
connection begins with a connect to port 631 ("IPP"). 

IOW: I'm pretty convinced the traffic isn't IPP.

2. The preponderance of the traffic goes *from* 192.168.1.50 port 631 *to*
   192.60.0.253 port 33496.

3. FWIW: I see references to "UML" i the initial handshake packets.


I've no idea what the traffic actually is.

If I had to guess, I'd wonder if the capture is the actual print stream going
to the shared printer.

Might 192.60.0.253 be your shared laser printer ?

In any case:
It seems to me that this is a case of TCP port 631 (IPP) being used for
something other than IPP with Wireshark trying to dissect the traffic as IPP
and unable to do so.
