The only location identifier is the resolved "coyote.coyote.den" which is this machine. None of the buster boxes have it, so they all report file not found. BUT they were all installed from a buster respin by the linuxcnc folks. But geany the editor, can drive that printer from any locatiom my cat5 cable reaches. And I just checked because there is a 2nd printer, another brother HL2320 B&W duplex capable laser, on this machine, and although the above command only shows one printer, I can feed both printers from geany running on any machine, all 6 of the profiles I have defined are available for geany to use as an output device. I suspect the laser doesn't do snmp, its a $120 printer. Probably some brother version of plc5 since its running on brothers own drivers.
