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?

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

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.
