RE: regd lpd backend

Pap backend works only with the device uri in the format
pap://zone/device/LaserWriter
Then can we somehow use the pap backend with the device uri
lpd://10.91.205.11/myprintqueue to get our work done.

The LPD backend does not support querying of the printer in this
way since the communications channel is not bidirectional.
