Yes.

There are no absolutes here. If you add the printer with:
lpadmin -p printername -E -v ipp://server/printers/printername -m raw
then the job will be filtered on the server, and if you use a local
printer driver ("-m filename.ppd" instead of "-m raw" above) then it
will be filtered on the client side and sent raw. The server will
only filter the file as needed.
