[cups.general] Printer added with lpadmin doesn't show?

[henri]

If you are dealing with 40+ printers you may find PrinterSetup to be  
of assistance with the management of the related cups queues.

Once you work out the command to add one of these queues, it should be  
just a couple of quick modifications to PrinterSetup so you can easily  
deploy all these queues. You may also find the printer creation  
scripts within the Utilities directory of PrinterSetup a good place to  
start looking for examples.

If I run your command I do create a CUP's print queue. Sorry, I am not  
sure why this is not working for you.

Finally, I am not sure what the ?ibm=yes part of your command is  
doing. Perhaps someone on the list with more experience would be able  
to explain what this is doing.

Hope this helps.

> system-config-printer-tui: doesn't show the printer at all
> system-config-printer-gui: shows the printer under browsed queues,
