I was seeing "lp" used on the remote so I think that was OK but I will make the rp="lp" change
and re-perform the testing. Before doing this I will make the change to the spool directories and
restart everything so I have a clean base.

No, the default for the rp capability is "lp".

Correct, although it is difficult to see why two actions that should
do the same (PRINTER=lp2 and -P lp2 override) show different behaviour.
This could be an effect on _when_ the lpq command is issued, wether
the spool files already have been sent to the destination.
