Perhaps I shouldn't trust package maintainers to not install unnecessary 
stuff? However, doesn't it actually discover network printers - they 
seem to be more common these days with both Wifi and versions. Not all 
my printers are plugged directly into the server.

cups-browsed seems to be having a bad week or two at least. It doesn't 
let me delete the erroneous path to the CP125 in addition to not 
detecting the correct path.

I ran the lpadmin command and CP1215 is now showing in my list of 
printers on my workstation. However it still isn't printing.

After a second, I remembered that is because I had to unplug the printer 
to set up a temporary powerline networking connection to my server 
yesterday (I'm finally getting around to replacing the last of my CAT-5 
cable with CAT-6 and having an issue with pulling a line to this 
particular room). This had nothing to do with my earlier issue however.

Anyway, hopefully a new CUPS update will get things working soon.

Thanks.
