You should abandon your client.conf and instead add the drective
BrowsePoll print.chalmers.se
to your local cupsd.conf (as I do not know how CUPS is configured
by default on Ubuntu systems, you might add/modify some other 
directives as well). This "imports" all the print server's printers that
are configured as shared.
If the print server does not declare any printers as shared, you are 
probably out of luck.
