Well, duh, that's the whole point of CUPS :) But it took longer than
necessary to be able to print from my laptop to my server, because the
_Debian_ CUPS defaults aren't the standard CUPS defaults - in particular,
the Debian setup presumes that you're printing _only_ from 127.0.0.1 and
_disables_ printing from another IP address. But a bit of RTFMing got me
there eventually.
The initial setup on the server machine was pretty much seamless with
CUPS; it printed nicely immediately after setup. It was only the network
stuff which gave me difficulty.
