In first, for "print" operation only BasicIpp and the http backend files 
are needed, the other ones expand possibilities (CUPS needs a CUPS server).

secondly, random tries will never work :)

I doubt your first attempt would ever work: ipp uri is regarding server 
internals itself, so do not repeat host IP.

Most likely:

 * paths setup is done for cups (/printers, /jobs, etc): on most 
network printers you would set the 4 paths (public array $ipp->paths) to 
"/", http://phpprintipp.nongnu.org has links for docs

 * you can get "printer uri" by printing the "IPP setup page" in your 
network printer menu (hardware physical panel), which by experience will 
be distinct from "network setup page" nor "setup page".

 * I guess your *network printer IP* is 192.168.0.13 and you didn't 
wrongly typed the web server one :)

Third, you are in reason wants printing only text/plain ascii, as most 
network printers will not handle files other than the printer one 
"language" (PCL, etc). In these days a few printers has PostScript as an 
option, and only a little number of high price printers will handle PDF, 
jpeg or PNG.

However, I recommend using CUPS, eg with a Debian system on an old 
workstation -- instead of garbage it: this will allow numerous useful 
capabilities as re-print, change page settings, move queue to another 
printer (maintenance, ...), setting banners, etc. Also to print print 
directly numerous file formats with a constant setup (color profile, ...).
