The client is trying to fetch the PPD file for the queue.  However, it
hasn't stripped options from the printer-uri.

What client are you using -- what is showing the print dialog?  Is it
something GTK+-based?  Just trying locally here, it looks like the GTK+
print dialog doesn't strip the options part from the URI.

There's another question here though: if there is a queue hard-wired for
a remote CUPS queue, i.e. the queue has a device device-uri like
ipp://other-machine:631/printers/whatever, shouldn't the
printer-uri-supported value for the hard-wired queue strip the options
rather than just using the device-uri as-is?

scheduler/printers.c:5134:
     /*
      * Tell the client this is really a hard-wired remote printer.
      */

      p->type |= CUPS_PRINTER_REMOTE;

     /*
      * Point the printer-uri-supported attribute to the
      * remote printer...
      */

      ippAddString(p->attrs, IPP_TAG_PRINTER, IPP_TAG_URI,
                   "printer-uri-supported", NULL, p->device_uri);
