[K12OSN] interesting printing thing

[Rob Owens]

There are different settings in cups to:
1)  automatically pick up available on the network
2)  broadcast your local printers to the network

I can't remember the exact configuration lines, but if
you use the cups web-based configuration tool, go to
localhost:631/admin and put a check next to one or
both of the following (depending on if there are
printers attached to your machine:
Show printers shared by other systems
Share published printers connected to this system
