After upgrading to 9.10
I wanted to be able to print from the printer attached to the desktop.
Installed cupsys and client
as root
apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client
created the /etc/cups/client.conf file and entered my desktop pc details.
restarted the cups system
/etc/init.d/cups restart
From the menu
System-> administration -> printing
The printer is there.
These two articles explain printing on Unix, linux, Ubuntu
Set up CUPS (http://www.debianadmin.com/setup-cups-common-unix-printing-system-server-and-client-in-debian.html) with more help at Help Ubuntu (https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/printing/C/printing.html)
