lpadmin, -m everywhere and Tea4CUPS

[debiantriage]

I have Debian's ippeveprinter set up: /usr/sbin/ippeveprinter -f application/pdf ippeveprinter. Its URI was obtained from the driverless utility and queue creation attempted with: lpadmin -p testq -v tea4cups:/URI -E -m everywhere. This results in

Unable to connect to ":0": Name or service not known

Is there a way round this or is it never going to be possible to wrap a backend with the everywhere model?

@debiantriage The IPP Everywhere model only works for IPP and IPPS URIs, because the PPD is dynamically generated from the capabilities returned for the queue/printer.

@michaelrsweet Colour me disappointed, but the response wasn't entirely unexpected. Thanks. Back to the drawing board!

One possible workaround: create the queue with the real URI and then change the device URI afterwards, e.g.:

lpadmin -p myprinter -E -m everywhere -v ipp://...
lpadmin -p myprinter -v Tea4cups://...

Success! The colour has changed to happy. The idea is appreciated.
