[aklug] CUPS saves the day!

Recently I bought a Canon MG6120 at the suggestion of a fellow LUGer
(you know who you are!).

This printer works great with one exception.

Even though it is an IP printer, you have to be on the same subnet as
the printer for it to work.

According to Canon, this is because it is using an USB over IP protocol.

The solution that works for me is to have a CUPS server that talks to
the printer on the subnet that the printer is on and print to that
server when printing cross network.

It would be great to know if others have found better solutions for
this particular problem, but for now it is working for me.
