Does the remote CUPS server need to be configured in any special way for
this "hack" to work? When printing for my FC3 notebook to a printer
connected to my still-on-FC2 server, at least some of the time (maybe
always actually) the print jobs simply seem to never disappear. Not even
when I try to cancel them. I'm pretty sure that I have never
successfully cancelled a print job after it has been spooled to the
remote queue, but perhaps that is beyond the scope of the "hack"?
