You can pint to any remote printer on the same lan with or without the
defining of the Server in the client.conf file. You can'r print to
remote printers on as different lan without the server defined. With the
server defined you can't print to a local printer. As long as you are
dealing with remote printers on the same Lan the answer to printing
under cup to a remote printer is to do nothing. It works out of the box
so to speak.
