$ lpadmin -p LaserJet_M15a -E -D "White Printer" -L "On Dad's desk" -m
everywhere -o printer-is-shared=true -v usb://HP/LaserJet%20m14-
M17?serial=VNBR14066
lpadmin: Unable to connect to "HP:0": Name or service not known
$ lpadmin -p LaserJet_M15a -E -D "White Printer" -L "On Dad's desk" -m
everywhere -o printer-is-shared=true -v hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_M14-
M17?serial=VNBR14066
lpadmin: Unable to connect to ":0": Name or service not known

Both the connection strings return "unable to connect" messages.
