8 No the webpage only runs on the server which is connected to the printers.
9 On that page, you should be able to see all printers connected to that
10 server. If not, then you have to add them.

12 The only thing you have to tell the clients is the name of your server
13 the printers are connected to in the client.conf file.
14 The applications on the client should see all printers on the server
15 automatically then.
16 The cupsd doesn't even need to be started on the clients.
