I did that, but did not try again to print, nor to configure
anything on one machine from another.
I did check the printers listed -- and found no two lists the
same.
#1 shows its own printer, and nothing else, not even my wife's.
#2, as previously reported, shows my wife's twice, and mine seven
different ways on three identifiable (by me) machines.
#3 shows my wife's twice, and mine four times, if you accept the
designation "default" as telling me it's on #1.
#4 machine shows my wife's twice, and mine five times,
identifying them in various ways.
There's more detail, among which it may be of interest that,
somewhere in all that, I noticed an identification of a printer on one
machine, and a driver of a different machine.
Whoo - ooo -- oooie!
