Yeah dude, like after I set up my cups printer I had people all over
Wymount printing to it.  I mean, what a security hole.  I had people's
term papers piling up all over my apartment.  And then when they started
showing up at odd hours to pick them up... :)

Seriously though, there must be some sort of security because when I
plug my laptop into the CAEDM lab's network cups can see all the EE
printers but I can't print to them.
