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.
You can print on any printer, but for zeroconf aka "magicly see the other printers on the net" you need "avahi" - which I ended up removing fom any devices, 'cause it screws up routing tables when you happen to be in the same as a silvery rotton tomato laptop.
