Find a shared printer's host computer name System
A nice little touch that I just discovered in Jaguar (10.2): In the print dialog box of any native OS X application, click on the "Printer" popup menu, highlight a printer and leave the mouse over its name. After a short delay, a tooltip with the name of the computer sharing the printer appears!

Instead of having to wait a few seconds for the help dialog to pop up, why not just add the column to the main Print Center window?

Navigate to View >> Columns >> Host. This will add a "Host" column to the main window.

You can also edit the descriptions of each printer to include a location. Add the location column in the same manner as above.
