echo hello | lp -h suillus -d lp works correctly and prints "hello" on suillus's printer even though the apparently equivalent command echo hello | lpr -P lp@suillus gives the client-error-not-found error.
Yes. It works at least with CUPS 1.1.15 (SuSE Linux 8.1 and SLES8) but is doesn't work at least with CUPS 1.1.19 (SUSE LINUX 9.0). I posted a Software Trouble Report: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L522 By the way: If you use CUPS Browsing then you don't need "@server" or "-h server". The "name@server" stuff had never worked well for the BSD-like commands. For example "lpq -P name@server" had never worked. Therefore I never mentioned "name@server" for the BSD-like commands in the manuals and described only the System V style commands (which work well) in case of remote queues - see the Administration Guide - "Command-Line Tools for the CUPS Printing System" - "Managing Remote Queues" Additionally please note that the ordering of the options is of importance - see the Administration Guide.
