Where exactly are you meant to put the command "UseNetworkDefault yes"? I take it from the title that it is meant to go in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf . But on the client or the server? And where in cupsd.conf ? I thought the only information needed on the client was in /etc/cups/printers.conf ? Ps CUPS documentation is very, very bad.
