Here are some examples listed in the printers.conf file:
DeviceURI parallel:/dev/plp
DeviceURI serial:/dev/ttyd1?baud=38400+size=8+parity=none+flow=soft
DeviceURI scsi:/dev/scsi/sc1d6l0
DeviceURI socket://hostname:port
DeviceURI tftp://hostname/path
DeviceURI ftp://hostname/path
DeviceURI http://hostname[:port]/path
DeviceURI ipp://hostname/path
DeviceURI smb://hostname/printer

The first three examples show the form for local printers (parallel, serial, and scsi). The other
examples are for remote hosts. In each case, hostname can be the host??™s name or IP address. Port
numbers or paths identify the locations of each printer on the host.
If you find that you are not able to print because a particular printer driver is not supported
in CUPS, you can set up your printer to accept jobs in raw mode. This can work
well if you are printing from Windows clients that have the correct print drivers installed. To enable
raw printing in CUPS, uncomment the following line in the /etc/cups/mime.types file in Linux:
application/octet-stream
And uncomment the following line in the /etc/cups/mime.convs file:
application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
After that, you can print files as raw data to your printers without using the -oraw option to print
commands.
