[STR New]

We have an HP LaserJet 4050 connected to our network. The printer is old,
but plays nicely with SNMP. the output of /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp for
this device is

network ipp://192.168.100.20:631/ipp "HP LaserJet 4050 Series"
"192.168.100.20" "MANUFACTURER:Hewlett-Packard;COMMAND
SET:PJL,MLC,PCL,PCLXL,POSTSCRIPT;MODEL:HP LaserJet 4050 Series
;CLASS:PRINTER;DESCRIPTION:"

The device ID ends with "DESCRIPTION:" but the description of the printer
after the colon and the closing semicolon are missing. It seems that a
certain string length is forseen for the URI which does not fit the device
ID of this printer.
