Tim,

CUPS specifies that its printer names do not allow for slashes. Slashes are reserved to separate printer instances from the main print queue. (Think of a CUPS printer instance as "print job setting profile of a printer that can be used by just using a name".

You may have a main printer "hp". Then you can create printer instances by the name of

  hp/A3paper
  hp/A4duplex
  hp/landscape_A3

and so on (and set all job options as you want them for each instance). This is supported by KDEPrint.

So by far this is not at all a bug, it is a feature to group CUPS instances.

Cheers,
Kurt
