Why a raw queue? I think you just need the one queue, and set it shared.
On the laptop, or any client, there is no need to set a queue up.
Just enable remote queue browsing ("Automatically find remote shared
queues") with the Printing tool from the menu, and print directly to
those queues by name.
For simple situations like this there is no need to use the web GUI.
The graphical tool is meant to be a simple replacement, covering the
most often-used functionality. (I'm aware there are large gaps for
more sophisticated needs.)

This makes perfect sense to me, and is what I would like to set up. I'm
running KDE, and the printing tool from the system settings menu does not
include any such option (Automatically find remote shared queues) that I
can see. I looked at the print config in the KDE control panel, and don't
see any such option there, either. Where is this option that you
describe. I'd like to try it.
