The IPP backend "ipp" of CUPS 1.5.x and newer got some changes by
upstream to make it conforming better with the IPP standards, fixing
several other problems.

Unfortunately, some old (incompatible? buggy?) printers and print server
boxes failed with the new IPP backend. So I decided to carry on the old
backend as "ipp14" in the Debian and Ubuntu package of CUPS 1.5.x and
newer. The backend is exactly the one of the last CUPS 1.4.x release.

You do not really need to rename the backends, you should even avoid
renaming them, as with the next update of the CUPS package the renaming
gets undone.

Please undo the renaming or reinstall the cups package and then chgange
the URI of you queue pointing to the NAS from "ipp://..." to "ipp14://...".
