More info.  lpadmin logs the following errors

	lpadmin -dlp0 -vparallel:/dev/lp0 -mCanon-BJC-610-bjc610a0.upp.ppd -E
		(Canon...ppd is in /usr/share/cups/model (per instructions))

	set_default(3, ipp://localhost/printers/lp0)
	set_default: resource name '/printers/lp0' no good!
 	send_ipp_error(3, 406)
 	Sending error: client-error-not-found

What do I do to get the resource name to be recognized?
