Thanks to you and debian-user@howorth.org.uk. Note that this page is for Apple
CUPS. The one for Deian CUPS is at
https://openprinting.github.io/cups/doc/sharing.html
Havong said that, it should also be noted that the /etc/cups/client.conf is used
when a local spooler is not required and is presented as to be used only as
absolutely necessary. Hardly "the first thing cups docs tell you to do". Why is
it absolutely necessary in your situation?
Additionally, a client.conf overrides the default local server. All the analysis
in this thread has been carried out assuming a functional local server, so I do
not know where that leaves us now if a client.conf has been in the mix all the time..
