Printing to a Cups Server without using the local CUPS
Authored by: Starfury on Aug 20, '04 06:54:13PM

Works great; reduces network traffic dramatically when user home folders are located on a fileserver (especially when using M$ applications).

However, this method is not recommended for clients that regularly detach from the network (like laptops). Various applications that need some kind of a printer definition start up with a (LONG) delay (and a lot of applications appear to need that).

If would be nice to have a CUPS server selection somewhere (preferably in the location manager).

But maybe someone already has a solution for this (?)
