lpoptions not available on print clients?

Hi,

on my print server I setup a queue hp0d which should enable
printing 2 pages on a single sheet by executing:

lpoptions -p hp0d -o number-up=2

In /etc/cups/lpoptions I find

Default hp0
Dest hp0d number-up=2

On the cups client machines (which get the printserver's queues via
/etc/cups/client.conf) the default destination hp0 is known. But for
some reason the number-up option is not know. I checked this with
'lpoptions -p hp0d'.

On the printserver this command gives

job-sheets=none,none printer-info printer-is-accepting-jobs=1 printer-is-shared=1 printer-make-and-model='HP LaserJet 9050 Postscript (recommended)' printer-state=3 printer-state-change-time=1186666024 printer-state-reasons=none printer-type=45268 number-up=2

And on the cups clients it gives

job-sheets=none,none printer-info printer-is-accepting-jobs=1 printer-is-shared=1 printer-make-and-model='HP LaserJet 9050 Postscript (recommended)' printer-state=3 printer-state-change-time=1186666024 printer-state-reasons=none printer-type=45268

Do I have to distribute the /etc/cups/lpoption file to all cups
client machines?

Thanks for a hint...
Andreas
