There you are! CUPS sees all four print queues shared by coyote. At this
stage we are golden. Note that all four are designated as "network".
PDF permanent ipp://localhost/printers/PDF cups-pdf:/
This is a manual queue (permanent) set up locally on bpi51. It isn't
of any
further interest.

You may care to take note that 'lpstat -a' and 'lpstat -t' only show
local
printers (permanent) and not those that are on the network. That also
goes
for the Printers section at localhost:631.
Local printers can also be auto-setup by cups-browsed. You do not have it
installed/running. Thar's OK; there isn't any obligation (or for that
matter,
any need) to use it. Having mentioned it, we will now completely put
it out
of our minds.

Your printing situation appears to be a sane one, so now for a test. Do
