NFS is not running and not desired from our UX-Admins. In any case lpd
isn't running on the client. I just made another step forward:

Clientside printcap now looks like this (and I think, I can live with
that one, cause its never changing and although its nearly the same
thing as the "default_remote_host" in lpd.conf):

* :\
:client:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:force_localhost@

And the wonder happened, lpc status all now shows the stats of the
server's printers. 

But still there is the filter problem (ifhp, control_filter). Especially
the control_filter (they differ from printer to printer) won't be
parsed, when I invoke a print request on the client. Server-side print
requests are ok...
