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. :)

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.

Oh my ... that's the reason why I set up a "drop stuff here" folder
on the

folder on the
only computer that's connected to a printer. Whenever I drop a
