TCP port 631 is actually the "IPP" (Internet Printing
Protocol" port that the CUPS people grabbed for themselves, and the
"http://my-server:631/printers/CLP-300" form of addressing is actually
something of a kludge, because it's not _really_ HTTP protocol at all.

So, something like:
ipp://my-server/printers/CLP-300 

This should also help (i.e., navigate thus -- Printer Setup Utility,
Advanced, Internet Printing Protocol using IPP):
