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.
Oh my ... that's the reason why I set up a "drop stuff here" folder on the
only computer that's connected to a printer. Whenever I drop a file into it, it gets
printed and deleted.

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.
Kate 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.

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. :)
