This would be useful for software testing; I have a production cupsd on our production print server listening on port 631, and an experimental cupsd listening on port 632. To test clients which don't have a local cupsd which talk directly to the experimental cupsd on the server, I would like to be able to write:

Example will be appreciated, thank you. I find that the feature doesn't work, however - with my Linux desktop's /etc/cups/client.conf containing:

ServerName cups:632

(and /etc/cups has the other expected files there, installation not done by myself), I see:

; lpr -H cups:632 -P pp23 tiger.ps
; lpq -Ppp23
pp23 is ready
no entries
; lpq -h cups:632 -Ppp23
pp23 is ready and printing
Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size
active  john    8       tiger.ps                        78848 bytes
; lpq -Ppp23
pp23 is ready
no entries
; lpq -h cups:632 -Ppp23
pp23 is ready and printing
Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size
active  john    8       tiger.ps                        78848 bytes
;

The client.conf file is being read, for I see:

; strace /usr/bin/lpq -Ppp23
...
read(3, "ServerName cups:632\n", 4096) = 20
...

Whether a local cupsd is running or not makes no difference. (I thought I had to try that just to be sure.)

Not too serious, as it affects only my testing - not the production installation.
