[ale] printing to a cups printer?

[Robert L. Harris]

Ok, I loaded "http://localhost:631" on my desktop.  I click the
"printers" tab and hit Add printer.

It prompts me for Name, Location, Description.  I fill in "HP-DJ882c",
"Spirit" and "My HP" and hit ok.  Next it asks for the "device".  It
gives an option for USB, lpr/lpd, ipp printer, etc.

If I put in anything other than USB (hardware connected printer types) I
get something like this:


Device URI:  <>
 Examples:

    http://hostname:631/ipp/port1
    http://hostname:631/printers/name
    ipp://hostname/ipp/port1
    ipp://hostname/printers/name
    lpd://hostname/queue
    socket://hostname
    socket://hostname:9100


What would I put in on "vampire.rdlg.net" to have it use the printer
named "HP-DJ882c" connected to "spirit.rdlg.net".  The HP printer is
connected via USB to spirit and working great.

Thus spake Dow Hurst (dhurst at kennesaw.edu):
