[cups] Unable to add printers from CUPS 2.2.13 web interface

[Ken Wright]

You can mark this problem down as "solved"!

Turns out I had two conflicting versions of CUPS installed, 2.2.7 and
2.2.13.  Once I got rid of 2.2.13 and reinstalled 2.2.7 everything
worked to install the printer.

My deep thanks to everyone who has been offering help and suggestions
these last couple of days!
