Usually when printing from a Linux client with CUPS
to a Linux CUPS server, no driver is run on the client,
see "Differences in Printing between Windows and Linux" at

The precondition is that on the Linux CUPS server the
print queues are set up as usual with a matching driver
for each particular printer device.
