Make sure the queue name you enter in the AddPrinter window is "printers/foo" and not just "foo".

But if I go into the MacBook's System Preferences and add a new IPP printer to go to that same IP address and queue, the new IPP printer (as indicated on the MacBook) just goes into "pause" mode when I try to print something.  If I hit the "Resume Printer" button in the printer control dialox box, it goes right back to paused after a second or so.
