This printer can as well be created with the web interface. One only 
needs to enter the correct IPP URI.

CUPS should not only have the attribute local/remote printer but also 
local/remote driver. A queue automatically created by a remote broadcast 
is "remote printer"/"remote driver", a queue manually created as a raw 
queue pointing to a remote CUPS queue via IPP is "local printer"/"remote 
driver", a queue pointing to a local or network printer, set up with a 
PPD is "local printer"/"local driver".
