I am working as a newbie user, so I added the printer locally and it 
works: from another networked computer I tried to add but it is not seen 
remotely.
I think that a standard user has not to know if it is shared by cups or 
any other devil tools, he expects to see on the list of shareable 
printers, that's all. Please note that it was like this in F17, I don't 
see why I lost my printer remotely in F17. And I think that we should 
think also about easiness of use.
