In all the years I've used Linux, the only time I could access a
remote printer from another PC, was when the printer was wireless.
Seeing CUPS accessing a printer USB-connected to the other PC, that
was definitely a first for me. :)

We have been using the share printer function for years.
Go to localhost:631 and go to manage printers in admin.
It's buried somewhere, in there, an option to share the printer.

That's half of it Kate, the cups installed on the clients needs to
have "browser" enabled. Once that's done you can keep the chainsaws
busy. Until you run out of ink or toner.
