Printer sharing

[Joel Goguen]

Yes, it will be a problem.  You'll need to ensure the computer with
the printer attached has a static IP address, or you'll have to re-add
the printer on the other box every time.  The box with the printer
attached will always have it shared, so you won't need to re-do that,
but you'll need to re-add the printer to the other machine every time
the IP changes.

If you can possibly do it, make the box with the printer have a static
IP address.  Otherwise, I wish you the best of luck not getting
frustrated with the whole thing.  It will be possible, but very
annoying.

And yes, that's how you would add the printer.  Choose a network
printer, then choose IPP.
