That was exactly it! http://192.168.8.5:631/printers/NAME_OF_PRINTER_QUEUE

And I was trying: http://192.168.8.5:631/ipp/NAME_OF_PRINTER_QUEUE and
http://192.168.8.5:631/NAME_OF_PRINTER_QUEUE, etc

So that's why it was not working.

Thanks!

One more question: I also still have a old mainframe which is only 
able to print to LPR. I added the cups-lpd daemon to inetd (with the 
-o arguments) as stated and explained in the man-page of cups.lpd.

I'm printing to: 192.168.8.5 Queue: NAME_OF_PRINTER_QUEUE.

But it's not printing. Furthermore it is not even showing up in the 
cups printer queue.

Did I miss something?

Thanks again!
Mark
