I have developed the habit of always putting the URI in double quotes.
Are single quotes better?

There is some cogent detail at

https://github.com/apple/cups/issues/6022

The everywhere model is unsuitable for using with this device. cups-filters
should handle application/PCLm. Maybe the driverless model will suit:

lpadmin -p m15a -v "URI" -E -m driverless:"URI"

Cheers,

Brian.
