I assume that the network line is for the printer I want.  I tried 
plugging parts of it into the pladmin command and got this

[root at Vince2 vince]# lpadmin -p printerq -v 
<dnssd://HL-L2360D%20%40%20linux._ipp._tcp.local/cups?uuid=5ef4f4ab-373b-3f35-779d-b0bf9b462930> 
-E -m everywhere
bash:

[root at Vince2 vince]# lpadmin -p printerq -v

What do I use as URI?

Thank you for the quick reply.
