I forgot to add that although the target printer controlled by the server
is a network printer, it is a shared printer some distance from
some of the Linux, MacOS, Windows and Chromebook clients (I forgot to
mention the last two). Chromebooks in particular are a little
odd if the printer isn't immediately available. Google Cloud Print worked
perfectly but that's no longer available.
