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. :)
Been doing it for years, Edward. Even before I found TDE. Just turn browsing and share on in the cups config, and I can print to this monster printer from any of the other 4 machines running here. You can do that with any machine that has cups installed, send your browser to localhost:631 to get to the cups main config pages.
