Dumb question - is the new printer connection set as the default printer? I am guessing that the USB connection through the KVM switch was the default printer on each machine.
I think so. They all show it twice, in fact : as psc-1310- series-, and either the same with underlines instead of hyphens, or with a "2" at the end.
I've just tried the troubleshooter on two or three of the machines, against each iteration of the printer, and gotten reports, but no solution.
If you are using the CUPS web administration, look at the "Device URI:" line. One should be a USB device, and one an ippd://<address>/631/<something> - the ipp:// one should be the default on all but the machine with the printer attached.
On #1, Where the printer is and I am now, I see almost identical entries :

On the second one, presently not the default, I see "usb" twice; since this is the machine *with* the printer, I should make it the default, right?
And on the others, assuming identical entries, the opposite?
I'll either do that, or post additional replies if I find any surprises. (The troubleshooter did install a driver on at least one machine; and there are at least two reports on each machine.)
