This is why it so so hard to debug other peoples setups.  They are so
different.

On my computers, I have the home dir on a server and use NFS to mount
to each computer.  This is probably a common setup.  We did this
routinely with UNIX machines back in the 1980s so that people can walk
up to any computer in the building, log-on, and all your files would
be there.    Set it up with automount.  This works for Macs too as as
Mac OS is BSD UNIX

That said, my printers both are not set up like yours.  They are WiFi
printers so there is no need to set them up as "shared" because the
server runs inside the $80 printer/scanner.
