Right? 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.
