That's exactly how a lpr/lpd system works, too.
I don't remember lpr can present you a list of printers, telling
where they are, which kind of paper, page size and double-side they
handle, if they're ready to print and if they're lacking ink. Not all of
this actually works well in Cups, but at least it has this ambition.
If you run a properly configured Cups on your laptop, you can go
anywhere, enter the local Cups server address in the config and then you
can use all the printers out there; if they add or remove a printer, you
see the change immediately.
With lpr you must manually edit a config line for every single
printer you want to be able to ever use, and every computer in your
company must be configured everytime they add or remove a printer.
