I just went through this a couple of days ago.

My printer, an HP DeskJet, is connected via parallel port to a machine 
at 192.168.1.10.  For the remote computers I use the URI:
ipp://192.168.1.10/printers/DeskJet-722C

The last part of the URI (DeskJet-722C) is the printer name.

I hope this helps,
Larry
