The following was clipped from the CUPS Manual
======================================= Automatic Configuration of Print Queues
CUPS supports automatic client configuration of printers on the same subnet. To configure printers on the same subnet, do nothing. Each client should see the available printers within 30 seconds automatically. The printer and class lists are updated automatically as printers and servers are added or removed. =======================================
My downstairs computer has no printer attached to it. The only printer I have is connected to my upstairs computer. I'd like to be able to print jobs on the upstairs computer when I am logged into the downstairs computer.
My question is;
I couldn't/didn't find any examples in the manual that explained what has to be done in a "for dummies" fashion.
Do I have to have the CUPS service started and active on the downstairs computer so that it can function as a client of the upstairs computer where the printer is attached?
