This makes perfect sense to me, and is what I would like to set up. I'm
running KDE, and the printing tool from the system settings menu does not
include any such option (Automatically find remote shared queues) that I
can see. I looked at the print config in the KDE control panel, and don't
see any such option there, either. Where is this option that you
describe. I'd like to try it.
