You missed my idea completely. *-)
The problem was that the documentation stated that the default was to
share the printer, and the config file denied sharing. The default config
was more suited to a workstation setup. I was not so concerned with 'how'
to edit the config file.
I was just showing how to get cups to share a printer as I'm sure many
would expect to be the default behavior.
Thank goodness I use Slackware and therefor am not afraid of CLI.
