Workaround:

Remove your IPP queue pointing to your home printer.

Make sure that your home print server broadcasts the printer (set printer to be "shared" in system-config-printer and in the "Server Settings" mark the field for sharing your printers, too). On the laptop set in the "Server Settings" of system-config-printer that you want to use remote printers. Then you home printer will get available again on your laptop, with the same queue name as on the server (click "Refresh" in system-config-printer if you do not see it). Set it as system-wide default. If your laptop cannot reach your server now, this queue will completely disappear and the dialog will point to "Print to a file" by default. The printer will appear again and get default as soon as you return to your home network.
