Hi Richard,

That is unfortunately going to be a problem in the future unless it's in 
a Policy, but for now there is a workaround you can try...

Try applying this patch and see if that works!

https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/commit/5661ec7e50991694098b0f0dc34805bf0a188e2e.patch

You'll probably want to try adjusting your configuration though. That 
being said, a better workaround is coming upstream, but this will get 
you going for now.
