I finally got it, don't know why I didn't see it at first, boy
do I feel dumb now. It was my /etc/printcap on the client machine.
The /etc/printcap looked like:

# /etc/printcap
#
# Please don't edit this file directly unless you know what you are doing!
# Be warned that the control-panel printtool requires a very strict format!
# Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.
#
# This file can be edited with the printtool in the control-panel.

##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE 
lp:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
	:mx#0:\
	:rm=raven:\
	:rp=:  <<<--------This was wrong !!

---------------Changed it to this ------------------------------------------------
# /etc/printcap
#
# Please don't edit this file directly unless you know what you are doing!
# Be warned that the control-panel printtool requires a very strict format!
# Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.
#
# This file can be edited with the printtool in the control-panel.

##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE 
lp:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
	:mx#0:\
	:rm=raven:\
	:rp=lp: <<---------Correct
