Adding Encrypted Printer

[Sebastian James]

Is

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p rwssl4 -E -v "ipp://209.119.222.222:631/?encryption=always" -m raw

equivalent to:

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p rwssl4 -E -v "https://209.119.222.222:631" -m raw

or is it a nicer (new) method of getting encryption without having to open a new cupsd port?

I ask because, in earlier versions of CUPS (e.g. 1.1.23) you have to set the receiving cupsd to listen on a particular port (say, 632) for SSL connections (using the SSLPort directive in cupsd.conf) and then do:

usr/sbin/lpadmin -p rwssl4 -E -v "https://209.119.222.222:632" -m raw

cheers,

Seb James
