Re: Cups server for intermediate queues possible?

On the desktop create queues with the appropriate printer driver/PPD
file and URIs like

ipp://<server host name or IP>:631/printers/<queue name on server>

If YaST does not offer this possibility (for example by manually entered
URI), use the web interface of CUPS, the "lpadmin" command, or the KDE
Printing Manager.

Configure the cupsd.conf on the server so that print jobs from the
desktop are accepted. Uncomment the "application/octet-stream" lines in
the /etc/cups/mime.types and /etc/cups/mime.convs files on the server,
so that it accepts already filtered (printer-ready) jobs. Do not forget
to restart the CUPS daemon on the server after modifying the config files.
