i am not currently using cups-client, i'm trying to figure out if i should be.
logically it shouldn't be necessary.

the test is that the client can see the server and printer.

that certainly makes sense.

network lpd://BRN001BA9BC9354/BINARY_P1
ok - here's where things get a bit weird.
there is a box for discovered network printers, so cups thinks it sees the printer.
however if i select that "discovered network printer" , it still comes up with the connection to lpd:
in the log file i find : Unable to locate printer "BRN001BA9BC9354".
so i'm stuck here.
seems like i'm very close though...
