[cups.general] trouble getting ipp working w/ cups from Mac laptop

Hey list,

I'm trying to get a CUPS server set up in my home network so that I can 
print from my Mac laptop to my Linux file server using IPP.  I've 
configured my printer using the CUPS web interface from my laptop (the 
printer is a Canon bjc-2000).  I've been able to successfully print a 
test page from the web interface.  I've also been able to shell into the 
Linux machine and run something like "echo Hello World | lpr" and get a 
hard copy.  So I know the basic printer driver and whatnot is set up.

I add a printer on my laptop using the Apple printer admin tool.  I set 
the printer to IPP.  The machine is 192.168.1.103:631 (my Linux box's 
local IP).  I set the queue (I assume this is the remote resource) to 
"/printers/bjc2000".  When I browse to 
"http://192.168.1.103:631/printers/bcj2000", I see the configuration 
page for my printer.

However, when I attempt to print some test material from my laptop, my 
laptop claims there's an error printing.  When I "tail -f 
/var/log/cups/*" on the server and then attempt to print, this is what I 
see:

==> /var/log/cups/access_log <==
192.168.1.101 - - [03/Feb/2006:11:18:51 -0500] "POST /printers/bjc2000 
HTTP/1.1" 200 298

==> /var/log/cups/error_log <==
E [03/Feb/2006:11:18:51 -0500] get_printer_attrs: resource name 
'/printers/bjc2000' no good!


I'm lost now.  I've tried various permutations of queue names to see if 
I can stumble on one that works, but no success.  This machine I'm using 
is running Debian stable.  Does anyone have any insight as to why this 
might not be working for me?

Thanks in advance,

Jeremy
