I usually use single quotes, this works also if a '$' is in the string 
(but AFAIK does not appear in URIs).

I have added a comment now there.

Yes, that is the way to go. cups-filters has the rastertopclm filter and 
this is taken into account by the PPD generator of cups-filters and by 
the "driverless" utility.

For everyone starting to read here, the URI of the printer one gets by 
calling

driverless

without arguments. The filtering which driverless uses to tell 
non-driverless (legacy) IPP printers from driverless IPP printers takes 
PCLm-only models into account (it simply looks for IPP printers with IPP 
2.x and at least one of the 4 PDLs PDF, Apple Raster, PWG Raster, and PCLm.
