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.

When the printer installed, the share option was obviously enabled by default. I'll just leave it as it is, no harm in leaving that option on.

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.

That's another way Nik, but this way Just Works with any editor that has a print dialog under the files menu. The printers shared from other machines show up as targets you can select and configure. Most of my printing is hal files etc for my milling machines, and the line lengths demand landscape mode, even occasionally wrapping a really long line. And because this monster sized Brother MFP-J6920DW feeds all letter sized paper cross ways, it does not have to rotate the raster to print it. About a second a page faster that way. :)

actually you need an entry in /etc/cups/client.conf on the client machine
ServerName <your cups server IP or hostname>

I am glad there is someone younger here who can remember that stuff. Thanks deloptes.
