The 'remote_support' option specifies what facilities the remote printer supports. You should have something like: lp:client :lp=lp@server:force_localhost@ ... etc etc etc lp:server # operations allowed to remote host (lpr=R,lprm=M,lpq=Q,lpq -v=V,lpc=C) # default remote_support = RMQVC :remote_support=R ....
