30 Yes - that's how I'm administering the machine as it's 350 miles away.

32 From the CUPS interface at port 631 I can delete the printer, add the
33 printer automatically - CUPS finds it when I ask it to look for new
34 printers - and I can print test pages form within the management
35 interface. I can run Open Office and print pages on the printer. OO
36 sees the printer with the exact big, ugly name I left as default in
37 CUPS. My dad says the pages show up and he's right because he reads me
38 what I typed in. It's all the other apps I've tried remotely
39 (Evolution in my dad's account & Firefox in mine) that don't find the
40 printer.

42 Curious...
