[GRLUG] CUPS & Print servers

For many years we have used a Linksys print server for our HP LJ parallel
port printers, .. with a HP LaserJet 6P Foomatic/ljet4 driver on P1 and a
Postscript driver on P2:

         lpd://10.0.0.110/P1

         lpd://10.0.0.110/P2

Now, unfortunately, CUPS (2.2.7) is choking on the second port:

"Unable to add printer:

    Bad device-uri " lpd://10.0.0.110/P2"."

Is there some new way to configure CUPS for print servers?

        TIA!
