In case it matters, there is no new printer; only the one they've
all been using for months, but through the extra USB port on the KVM
switch.

Wait a minute! After long enough looking at that like a poleaxed
ox, I suddenly see a sense it might make. Are you saying I can have four
tabs in the same browser *on the same machine* open to CUPS on all four??
I tried substituting some current LAN IP numbers for 127.0.0.1,
and got this every time from Firefox :
===== ===== ===== =====
Failed to Connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.0.13:631.
Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a
connection.
* Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network
connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy?
Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
===== ===== ===== =====
Does that just mean I have to turn off denyhosts, or something?
(I often have troubles with ssh and scp, even with denyhosts turned off
on both.) Or are you saying something else altogether?
