       -E   Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -h server[:port]
            Selects an alternate server.  Note: This option must occur before all others.

       --include-schemes scheme-list
            Specifies a comma-delimited list of device or PPD schemes that should be included  in
            the results.  Static PPD files use the "file" scheme.

NOTES

       CUPS  printer  drivers  and  backends  are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a
       future feature release of CUPS.  Printers that do not support IPP can be  supported  using
