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.

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. :)
