Printing to a Cups Server without using the local CUPS

If you create a file called .cupsrc with contents:

ServerName myserver
Encryption IfRequested
(where myserver is the name of the CUPS server) in your home directory, then you can print entirely through the server, without using CUPS on the local machine. But faxing over the server is then not available.

You may have to also edit the /etc -> cups -> cupsd.conf file on the server to enable browsing and give the server a name.
