The server is 172.16.2.4. The client is 172.16.2.7. But the logs also
show a 172.16.2.3; what is it?

Ok.

This is a device URI on the remote server, so it is not local. Jobs
sent to it aren't going anywhere.

The beginning of the log (which shows the file received) is missing.

A test file would be expected to be type application/vnd.cups-pdf-banner.

The file received is a raster file. I wonder why.

There shouldn't be a PPD on the client.

The file is being sent somewhere it cannot be delivered to, but this is
not the reason for the failed filter.

rastertopdf does not like what it given (and the system shouldn't have
been given a raster file in the first place).
