lprm/lpq wrapper should point you at the right CUPS server

Description

With the transition of the cluster printers to CUPS, lprm and lpq now only works if you talk to the actual CUPS server and not printers.mit.edu. This is a major change in behavior and actively conflicts with documentation and printed instructions in clusters.

Our wrapper script should look up queues in Hesiod and add the appropriate -h flag.

lpq/lprm should possibly also default to --cups mode based on the printer name and not just argument parsing.

This will have the side effect of making lpq output much nicer:

c.f. :

jdreed@infinite-loop:~$ lpq -Pajax | head -5
ajax is ready and printing

q_liang: active [job 2834 (Nov 19 20:15) localhost]

(STDIN) 3019776 bytes

jdreed@infinite-loop:~$ lpq -Pajax -h get-print.mit.edu | head -5
ajax is ready and printing
