I've changed the URI to "socket://192.168.0.4", and that worked.
Given that this URI worked, I also tried "lpd://192.168.0.4/BINARY_P1", which
works as well.
So there's some problem with hostname translation. When I use "modify printer"
with the CUPS web interface, it shows a selection:
Discovered Network Printers: Brother MFC-9340CDW (Brother MFC-9340CDW)
When I select that, the next page shows:
Connection: lpd://BRW0C84DC169F5E/BINARY_P1
Silly me, I figured that if the CUPS was good enough to query the printer and
discover the URI, and that corresponded correctly to the URI I could see on the
web interface to the printer, that it would correct. As noted previously, this
exact URI with a symbolic hostname worked on OpenSuse 12.2, so this looks like
a regression.
This isn't exactly a satisfactory solution, since the printer is getting an IP
address from the wireless router via DHCP, and the IP address could change.
I'd have to make a static IP address assignment on the printer to prevent it,
but that's also undesirable.
