[ale] printing to a cups printer?

I don't see a debian cupsys-server package.  Any idea what the binary
name might be?  With a filename that's in the server only I can find
what provides it.

On my desktop how do I tell it to search for the network printers?  I
can add printers with the URL syntax but never found a way of listing
what's known.

Thus spake Dow Hurst (dhurst at kennesaw.edu):
