[STR New]

The CUPS server assigns an unique job-id per job. The printer-only
uniqueness would allow the direct IPP request redirection to the third
print server with its own queue (with local or remote access policy). 

Then some of backends (ipp, smb, lpd) could be enhanced to show (only)
remote queue jobs (e.g. Samba jobs etc.) as it would be served by a local
queue.

The current job-uri ipp://host:port/jobs/job_id does not distinguish the
printer. The scheme ipp://host:port/printers/printer_name/jobs/job_id can
solve the issue.
