My idea is the users should print to the cups queue and everytime the printer is connected (via a vpn connection) to the cups server, the print jobs will be send automatically to the lpr printer. Sometimes it is working in this way. But most not. Maybe I'am wrong doing this in this way. But please help me to solve the problem or tell me how I should configure the cups server or the lpr printer.

With this configuration, the only method I can think of is to wrap the
lpd backend with a
script that queries the return code and tries repeatedly until the print
succeeds.
