I believe the Macs also use cups for printing. My internet
connection with the hurricane disturbing the path at the Texas

performance this morning. But only my three printers showed up
in the Firefox print menu this morning, don't know why it is
different than yesterday but I must have done something? Cups
still shows all the printer entries but not the system addresses
for the Macs. Apparently those only show up when they are turned
on? I will have to look into that. Everyone is out of the house
and the other boxes are shut off presently.
Unless you hand configure adding a printer, CUPS finds available
printers, and lists what it finds. If it's not there, it's not going to
be listed.
"Available printers" would be printers that advertise themselves in a
way that CUPS knows about. Or, other CUPS servers that publish printers
that they have.
