I noticed that when I try to add an ipp printer from a second RedHat  
client,
printtool assumes that the Path:  to use is /printers/queue1.

Networked CUPS (IPP)
Server:                    Path:  /printers/queue1

My RedHat server has no /printers directory.

Is this a problem?  What should be used for the path on the client?
