Current guide: If you are installing a remote printer, you will be asked for the URI to the printer: * An LPD printer server requires a lpd://hostname/queue syntax * An HP JetDirect printer requires a socket://hostname syntax * An IPP printer requires a http://hostname:631/ipp/queue or ipp://hostname/ipp/queue syntax For me this URL scheme did not work but using ipp://hostname/printers/<printer name on the server> worked fine so it would probably be useful to add to the guide.
Fixed in CVS. Thanks to the original reporter. Also, thanks to Flameeyes for verification. Turns out that the ipp://hostname/ipp/<name> syntax is actually for HP's internal ipp implementation. I removed this and replaced it with the working syntax as described by betelgeuse and confirmed by Flameeyes, who runs networked printers with CUPS. The new way is the "cups" way of doing it, though I left the old HP way in the file as a comment. Thanks again for reporting and the help. :)
