It's just that: you can't directly print to remote printers.
(i.e. your spooler doesn't handle filters for remote printers)

My guess is that you need to install a "bounce queue" to do
the filtering stuff, then send that output to the remote queue.

Not surprisingly, this is all covered in the FAQ...
