Printer is working again. The printer entries referenced above, I

Should the CUPS server actually be seeing the other printer in the first
place?? I've never seen this occur before.
Oh, yes. cups talk to cups in a local network.
The printers do have to be in "shared" status.
But, I believe that's the default cups configuration for a printer.
So, you can print to either printer.
