This works as designed. If a ServerName is set, all CUPS clients: Command line tools as lpr, lpadmin, ... CUPS-aware apps, as kprinter (and all KDE apps) or OpenOffice.org, printer setup tools, as the GNOME CUPS Manager, ... see the CUPS daemon of the machine specified with ServerName and NOT the local daemon. Only the web interface (http://localhost:631/) sees the local daemon. the client.conf is to set up pure CUPS clients, with the local daemon not running or even not installed.
