You should be using:
# force clients to send job to server - they will not
# fuss with options, etc.
hp3:tc=.client
hp2:tc=.client
hp1:tc=.client
hp:tc=.client
.client:lp=%P@coulomb:force_localhost@
# on server, these queue can do options
hp3:server:tc=.hpx:append_z=tray3:cm=Schacht 3 - Altpapier
hp2:server:tc=.hpx:append_z=tray2:cm=Schacht 2
hp1:server:tc=.hpx:append_z=tray1:cm=seitlicher Einzug
.hpx:
:lp=%P@coulomb
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
# and they get this
hp:server:cm=HP Netzwerkdrucker (brahms)
:filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
:lpd_bounce
:tc=.common
:lp=130.83.237.53%9100
:ifhp=model=hp5simx
:if=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
.common:
:sh
:mx=0
> :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
>
> ---end of server---
>
> The intention was to choose the tray with name of the queue
> and all works fine if we use "lpr -Php3 file" or "lpr -Php3@coulomb
> file"
> on the client and "lpr -Php3@coulomb file" on the server.
> There will be an entry in the cf...-file: Z,tray3,tray3
> I don't know why lprng append ",tray" two times, but that is not the
> problem.
> If I use "lpr -Php3 file" there is NO Z-entry at all!
> It seems that lprng sends the file directly to "hp" without appending
> anything and ignoring the hp3-queue-entries.
> If I use force_localhost@ or lpd_bounce nothing changes...

You can also do the following:
# client entry
hp|hp_*:lp=%Q@coulomb:qq
hp|hp_*:server:cm=HP Netzwerkdrucker (brahms)
:incoming_control_filter=/usr/local/bin/libexec/filters/fixz
:filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
:lpd_bounce
:tc=.common
:lp=130.83.237.53%9100
:ifhp=model=hp5simx
:if=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
#!/usr/bin/perl
# fixz filter
use Getopt::Std;
my(%args);
# get the arguments
getopt(
"a:b:cd:e:f:g:h:i:j:l:m:n:o:p:q:r:s:t:u:v:w:x:y:z:" .
"A:B:C:D:E:F:G:H:I:J:L:M:N:O:P:Q:R:S:T:U:V:W:X:Y:Z:",
\%args );
# get the queue that was used:
if( $args{'Q'} ){
$Q = $args{'Q'};
} else {
$Q = $args{'P'};
}
my(@lines);
@lines = <STDIN>;
if( $Q =~ /_1/ ){ $opts .= ",tray1"; }
if( $Q =~ /_2/ ){ $opts .= ",tray2"; }
if( $Q =~ /_3/ ){ $opts .= ",tray3"; }
($Zline) = grep /^Z/, @lines;
if( $Zline ){
$Zline .= $opts;
map s/^Z.*/$Zline/ @lines;
} else {
unshift @lines, "Z$opts";
}
