Hello, first tell us what connection your using for your printer, or
better yet show us your /etc/cups/printers.conf file.

I've had to edit the destination in different OS's, especially when
I had my printer connected to my parallel port. My current is a
Epson-777 Color inkjet printer with a $40 Edimax printserver
attached to the end of it with a static IP, so my file looks like
this:
