This is not possible because a local printer needs a local running
cupsd but even if there is a local running cupsd it is not at all
used when another cupsd on a remote machine is specified via
a ServerName entry in client.conf, see
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.4/ref-client-conf.html
"... ServerName ... redirects all client requests ..."

Instead use the CUPS default "Browsing".

You may have a look at the CUPS documentation at
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php
or alternatively see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell
in particular the section about "Configuring CUPS in the Network"
