Hi,
Don't use admintool-printer to setup multi bsd-printer server so that the
local_printer_name different from remote printer name, but use command line
mode.
First setup/register the remote system printer,
lpsystem -t bsd remote_host
then setup the printer
lpadmin -p local_printer_name -s remote_host!remote_printer
then enable the printer queue
enable local_printer_name
Thanks' to:

form the nps server ie pr1 or pr2. So if I create a new bsd printer with
server nps1 and printer pr1 it become pr1 and I cannot define for the next
nps2,pr1 becaut it become pr1.
