I have added two network printers without any noticeable problem, not
using "ipp" but raw socket 9100 by means of GNOME printer facility which
automatically discovered the available printers in the network and I only
had to select the driver to load.
Anyway, have you tried adding the printer from CUPS web UI (http://
localhost:631)?
