Thank you for that link Greg.

This explains it better than I do, but if history is any indicator, it 
will be made useless by bookworm.  Thanks Greg, it may contain some clue 
as to why printers on this machine, all marked shared, cannot be used by 
other bullseye installs, Other buster installs however can use them just 
fine. My logs claim the client is not sending any authorization. Yet all 
clients claim DefaultAuthorization is Basic.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
