If you set up an IPP printer through Printer Setup Utility, remote locations will be in the form of ipp://hostname:631/ipp/queuename. However, generic CUPS uses ipp://hostname:631/printers/queuename. You can set it up this way using the Terminal:

lpadmin -p local_queue -v ipp://hostname:631/printers/queuename

Current settings can be listed with lpstat -v. Of course, you have to change hostname, queuename, and local_queue to the actual values for your system.
