The only problem with that is, I can't add the bojour printer in Workgroup Manager. It just doesn't show up. And adding the printers to each of the over 1000 clients is almost impossible. What I have done in the past was add it in to one of the servers, and in WGM, send it out to each of the clients. I have show bonjour checked in serveradmin, as well as CUPS web interface DNS is on. Any advice? Thanks
