Hi, 

Does anyone know the correct way to get a RHAS 3 (update 3) client to
reference a CUPS printer instance on a remote CUPS server? 

For example, we have instances of each printer on our CUPS server which
each represent a feature of that printer -- so printer "xrx_a" might
have simplex, duplex and color printing. So on our CUPS server, the
instances would be xrx_aS, xrx_aD, and xrx_aC. However, the *client* can
only send jobs to xrx_a. Attempts to send jobs to any of the instances
fails miserably. 

Alternatively, is there a way to print to the simplex queue of a printer
whose default queue is the duplex queue from a RHAS 3 client to a CUPS
server? 

This was all very easy with LPRng and printconf. However, getting a CUPS
client to act like that is tough, and LPRng is deprecated in RHAS 3. 

Thanks,
brian.
