I tried the following command:

$ lpadmin -p LaserJet_M15a -E -D "White Printer" -L "On Dad's desk" -m
everywhere -o printer-is-shared=true -v
ipp://HP%20LaserJet%20M15a%20(103F7B)%20(USB)._ipp._tcp.local/

and got the response:

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

Did I misenter the command?
