I just managed to get CUPS working (sort-of) with the EdiMax PS-1206MF 
Ethernet-to-USB printer connector, which runs a rudimentary IPP server.

Again the name of the printer for use in the ipp:// URI was not entirely 
obvious but it *was* in the PDF manual: it's lpt1. Quite why these 
manufacturers choose to bury this kind of important information and give 
precedence to huge quantities of marketing guff is unclear.
