You should not need this with either method - at least when I go to
add
a printer in system-config-printers, it first searches for new printers,
and should find the new network printer. (I prefer the WEB interface,
but both should be working.)
In case it matters, there is no new printer; only the one they've
all been using for months, but through the extra USB port on the KVM
switch.

Another advantage, if you have CUPS set to allow administration from
a
machine on the network, is to open a web browser from that machine, and
have CUPS on the other machines open - each in their own tab. I also
find the help in the web based version easier to use. Then again, one
thing about Linux is choice - you can chose the
method that works best FOR YOU.
Wait a minute! After long enough looking at that like a poleaxed
ox, I suddenly see a sense it might make. Are you saying I can have four
tabs in the same browser *on the same machine* open to CUPS on all four??
I tried substituting some current LAN IP numbers for 127.0.0.1,
and got this every time from Firefox :
===== ===== ===== =====
Failed to Connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.0.13:631.
Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a
connection.
* Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network
connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy?
Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

Does that just mean I have to turn off denyhosts, or something?
(I often have troubles with ssh and scp, even with denyhosts turned off
on both.) Or are you saying something else altogether?
