Printer is working again. The printer entries referenced above, I
subsequently discovered, were for the printer connected to the other
desktop - which has the same model of printer. It eventually
displayed the hostname of the other computer, then I realized what was
going on. Had it been a different printer model, then it would have been
obvious...
Should the CUPS server actually be seeing the other printer in the first
place?? I've never seen this occur before.
Oh, yes. cups talk to cups in a local network.
The printers do have to be in "shared" status.
But, I believe that's the default cups configuration for a printer.
So, you can print to either printer.
