It might be reasonable for mDNS or dynamic DNS to populate the FQDN with an A and AAAA record and create a CNAME in local or sitelocal that points to the FQDN. Tools like host or dig would report the CNAME, the FQDN, and the final A and/or AAAA records if sitelocal was in the search path before the domain. I'm not sure how that works with CUPS bookmarking.
