Printing always on the same client? That's easy. CUPS can print over |
| 16 |
the network. Configure a queue for that client on the server. |

If printing is supposed to happen on a variety of clients, that's a |
| 19 |
wee bit more complex. Configure a queue for each client. Now you must |
| 20 |
use some middleware (cgi, php, ...) on the server that figures out |
| 21 |
from which client (IP) the request has come. Use the appropriate |
| 22 |
queue. Shouldn't be too difficult. |
