Copying CUPS Configuration Between Hosts

in flag

I have a printer installed on an arch linux machine at my house and would like to install it on another computer also at my house. The printer is attached via USB to "reformed". "ryle" has the remote printer installed so that he can send jobs successfully to the printer. I would like to configure "calvin" like "ryle". Looking at "ryle", https://i.imgur.com/IHUcIlq.png the configuration says "Remote Printer". On "ryle", when I try to install a new printer, I see the following: https://i.imgur.com/0dBb9jz.png -- a fairly robust list. When I click add new printer on "calvin", I see the following: https://i.imgur.com/wqWHSrp.png -- not nearly as robust a list! Notice especially the missing "Brother HL-L2300D on reformed @ reformed (HL-L2300D)". I'm not sure how I installed the printer on "ryle", nor where the configuration for the printer is, so I'm only guessing how to proceed with "calvin".

Is there some way perhaps to scp a cups configuration file from "ryle" to "calvin" to copy the configuration? If not, how can I reproduce a printer configuration on another remote machine?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
