Hi Manuel, Thanks very much. This has been helpful. However what we're finding is to completely use lpstat and lpoptions on printers out on the network, as well as the printer admin app within Gnome, we must have cupsd running locally. Other than that everything now works. Granted we cannot 'manage' the remote printers from our local cupsd localhost:631, but we are allowed to look at the Job Queue on the remote printers using CUPS on the local machine. I suspect that will be suffucient for our needs.
Glad it's working for you. I'd be interested in knowing what lpoptions aren't available without a local CUPS daemon, though. I've had no issues printing using just client.conf, although my setup is KDE-centric rather than Gnome-centric.
