Hi,

i think, you have to quote this with single quotation marks ('). And i 
don't think, there is an deviceURI ending with a "/"...

What i don't understand is why you don't do this using webinterface 
http://localhost:631 . This will be a lot easier as it - if printer is 
connected and online - will find the deviceURI correctly with all these 
%20 etc. for you. And you can also test some HP drivers, if you don't 
find the exactly "M15a".
