I'm planning to move my printer over to another box, so this interests me. 
One question's answer I don't know is whether packages outside the
daemon/library are needed.  For instance, I use the GIMP on my own box, and
the CUPS filters are installed. Will they (or other suggested's) need to be
installed on the other box, or will that one take the input from my programs
directly?  (Hope this makes sense...?)
