A PDF IPP printer was put on the network with
ippserver -p 631 -l backroom -k test
with the same outcome ("Rejecting Jobs" etc) as previously. What is of
interest is that test is not an additonal entry in the dialog but it
replaces (as shown by the location) the entry for the ENVY4500.
A bug report is in order, I think.
