For thin clients, you should do it on the LTSP server which serves them.

This picture explains a good part of it.

So thin clients (given 192.168 addresses) get everything from their thin
client server. Workstations (with full software installed to disk) are
moreorless equivalent to a thin client server but with no thin clients to
serve.

If it's a workstation they shouldn't be as far as I'm aware. The
workstation does take some info (eg dhcp) from the main server (tjener) but
I don't think keymap is one of them.

That might be a config problem at your end or a bug. If there is a
centralised cups network I would assume the workstations should use it the
same as the thin clients. I might be wrong though -- it's not unheard of
:-)
