I have a set-up much like yours. On my laptop (running sid) I
added a printer with the device URI
ipp:/server_name:631/printers/printer_name
where server_name is the desktop to which the printer is connected
and printer_name is the name by which the printer is known to CUPS. This
survived the upgrade to CUPS 1.2.
It's funny you should say that, because that's _exactly_ how my CUPS 1.2 describes it after I tell it to browse server_name! So, I guess either works.
