You need to allow clients to get all the informaiton, but the server only to use 'lpr': lp:client:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:force_localhost@ lp:.

LPRng: RE: server printcap flag
I have lp:remote_support=R set, and this does prevent the lpq queries to the terminal server, but how can I get it to look at the local queue on the Linux box when I do the lpq after it sees that the remote doesn't support the lpq, ie /var/spool/lpd/printer_name, which is where the jobs will actually be queued at anyway since forced-local is on ?
