AFAIK, you need a cupsd on the machine that has the printer. above is trying to connect to localhost:631 but with no cupsd, you don't have one. I suppose it may be possible to use cupsd on another machine to connect to a printer hosted locally, but that's beyond my abilities...
I can specify a machine that is running cupsd: moseley@laptop:~$ lpstat -h bumby -v device for 4ML: canon:/dev/lp0 device for AdobePDF: ipp://PowerMac.local/printers/AdobePDF device for Stylus_Photo_870_Gutenprint: ipp://PowerMac.local/printers/Stylus_Photo_870_Gutenprint How do I get applications to see those printers? For example, firefox doesn't display any of those printers.
are there command line options for cupsd that would connect you to remote printer?
