Awesome - thanks! That did the trick. Not something the average user
would be likely to find, but we can certainly document around it!
Btw, while we're at it, you may be interested to know that 10.5
reintroduces a bug that was first introduced in 10.4, then fixed in
10.4.3: If the URI scheme provided to the lpd backend is not one of the
five known types ("lpd://", "http://"; et al), the backend defaults to
using port 0, causing an error. Again, not a biggie (because you can
explicitly specify the port in your URI), but probably needs to be fixed
again.
See 4135084 in the Bug Reporter. I have updated the bug with a comment,
but it's still listed as Closed. Perhaps I need to raise a new one?
Yes, please do file a new bug, and reference the old one.
To be technically correct, however, you want to specify the port
number for unregistered schemes (e.g. "foo://host:515/bar") since
httpSeparateURI only understands the standard schemes and depends
on third-party backends to handle the default port number on their
own. Using a port number will also ensure compatibility with all
CUPS and Mac OS X releases...
