Isn't "lpadmin" supposed to be able to do everything that the server
on port :631 does?

that appears mostly correct, but not completely,
as per carla schroder ch14 p244-245 linux cookbook

in Discussion re using lpadmin

quote:
...
 this long cmd does the same thing as (web interface) example:

#lpadmin =p hp6L -L room-202 -D bw-laser -E -v parallet:/dev/lp0 \
-m HP-LaserJet-6-hpijs.ppd
...
if have Gimp-Print and Foomatic installed ....
find additional PPDs in
/usr/share/cups/model/gimp-print ...and in xxxxx/foomatic
they are compressed; You will need to uncopress and move it to
/usr/share/cups/model

using the CUPS web interface
