Add Network Printer through libcups API

[Azuri]

I did look at lpadmin.c file both its not working . But I am totally confusd.
I did look more into add_printer_to_class method but its not working. All I want is when user enters socket://123.45.45.67 to UI, my code should go ahead and add the printer tot he mac. I have spent hello lot of time trying to figure this out using API's but no success at all so far. Your help will be appreciated.
