Petter,

Well I was able to finally get everything working!

The solution I used, rightly or wrongly was reinstall every cups related 
package that synaptic found on each of my three systems!

Once I did that. I used the Printer Tool to add the printers. As shown 
below:

System 'A' Local printer sysclr (HP Photosmatr C3180) & remote printer 
sysprt on System 'B'.

System 'B' Local printer sysprt (HP Laserjet 2430tn) & remote printer 
sysclr on System 'A'.

System 'C' remote printers sysprt and sysclr.

Thanks for your patience as I worked through the issue.

Regards,
Jay
