Class PrinterURI is a printing attribute class, a URI, that specifies the
globally unique name of a printer.  If it has such a name, an administrator
determines a printer's URI and sets this attribute to that name.

IPP Compatibility:  This implements the
IPP printer-uri attribute. The string form returned by
toString()  gives the IPP printer-uri value.
The category name returned by getName()
gives the IPP attribute name.
