@herdingdata FWIW, I was reading this and got to the part where you couldn't access the CUPS web UI remotely - you could've used SSH port forwarding. Something like:
`ssh littlestartrolley -L 6631:127.0.0.1:631`
And then go to `http://localhost:6631` on your local machine (aka, your laptop). You need to use '6631' 'cause ports under 1024 are privileged and only root can bind to them.
Having the CLI tools is probably easier in the long run, but this trick might be helpful in the future!
