First off: Unless it is desired to make ServerName system-wide, one should use ~/.cups/client.conf. Secondly: avahi-daemon, cups-browsed and, more importantly, cupsd become redundant and unused. They may as well be purged from the client. How does the client get to know the printer's attributes? That can be done at present, even though printing does not take place. -- Brian.
