8 This fixes local printing. But network printing is broken by docs. The
9 docs say that cups servers broadcast info about their printers, but in
10 the default config they do not and they don't listen for other boxes
11 wanting to print.

13 Of course, this is the sane way. Services should be locked down unless
14 explicitly opened, but the docs don't mention this at all and there's
15 AFAIK no task-based piece of documentation explaining how to do it.
