Public bug reported:
All 3 PCs in my simple home network run Precise & are peers (i.e. no
server). A printer is attached to a desktop by usb cable. I cannot
successfully add this printer to laptop. If I try the standard GUI (for
Printing called from Settings GUI), it allows me to to find it (as
192.168.1.2:631) but when I select the make & model, it says CUPS error
"client-error-not-possible". When I use CUPS (i.e. localhost:631 in
Firefox & select 'Add a printer'), it allows me to do it but it then
says 'not responding' when I try to print to it.
