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. :)
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.

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.

Hi Nik,
Do you use incron (incrontab) for this? You willing to share your script (assuming it's in bash)?
Curiosity, best time waster ever invented!

Oh, that's just some lines in /etc/rc.local:
( mkdir /tmp/xxx inotifywait -m /tmp/xxx -e CLOSE_WRITE | while read a; do b=$(echo "$a" | cut -d ' ' -f 3-) lpr "$b" && rm "$b" done ) &
now copy anything you want to print to /tmp/xxx ... hopefully you have set up filters for all the strange files that are not ps, pdf ot txt ... and you could do some better sanity checking :) Oh, you need inotify-tools, too.
Curiosity, best time waster ever invented!
That's why smartphones were invented. with smatphones nobody will ever feel curiosity again!

I prefer "braindamaged" or "smombie". I remember school as beeing a noisy place. At my last visit the brainded sat side by side staring at a small flickering device - and it was ghostly quiet! Luckily we have "homeschooling" now. The greatest challenge is hitting the keys in a top-down mototion in contrast instead of swiping. Oh my, I'm getting old and grumpy :)
