I still consider this as a bug. Consider the following example:
There are at least two CUPS servers, say cups_a and cups_b.
On cups_b, there is configured a printer, named bar, having the
device-URI, let's say, socket://bar_s_ip_address:9100 .
On cups_a, there is configured a printer, named foo, having the
device-URI, let's say, ipp://cups_b/printers/bar .
The web interface on cups_a correctly shows the printer
foo
---
Device URI: ipp://cups_b/printers/bar
You can even select this printer, but if you try to start or stop
the printer or changing the accept status using this web
interface, it tries to access a printer with the device_uri
ipp://cups_b_pritners/foo
which does not exist.
I think it is *really* a bug that xou cannot manage a locally
configured printer the device-URI of which happens to look like
the one of a printer "imported" from remote.
