I have standard home network... three machines on a Linksys router which
does the DHCP assignments.

Two of the machines has a local printer.

I want each machine to be able to print to the other machine's printers.

I can get it to work in CUPS when I tell it the IP of each machine in the
CUPS "add printer". The problem is that often one of the machines with a
printer is turned off and when it is turned back on it has a different IP
and obviously I can't print to its printer.

How do you handle that, short of deleting the printer and reinstalling it?

Thanks,
Al
