I can't give a definite answer to whether the problem remains, at least not without some help. With cupsys 1.3.0-3 I can't figure out the proper syntax from the command line. My attempts seem to produce a proper socket:// value, but since the result isn't working I don't know if the problem is solved. The documentation seems obscure.

The printer that I created without the -m option does not appear to have the socket:// specification mangled, as it used to be. That's good. On the other hand, I was not able to print a test page to it, probably because there was no -m (and/or I need to use the HP JetDirect protocol or somethig else). So I don't know if this is working. I consider it a bug that it is impossible to tell what the correct syntax for the -m and -v arguments is from the man pages. Nor can I tell how the arguments that lpadmin wants relate to the output of lpinfo -v or -m. In particular, with -m, I wasn't sure if the argument should include path specifications or extensions for the files listed from lpinfo -m; the values I tried were all from that listing. In fact, it's not even clear from the man page that the name of a ppd file is called for, although some of the surrounding documentation seems to indicate that it is.
