Printer URIs get rewritten by the CGI programs, but the other links
are just relative/absolute paths so they don't have the same issues.

Basically, the code looks at the address portion and compares it to
the server name that is passed in - if they match, then the URI is
rewritten to be /printers/foo.  Otherwise you get the full URL
(http://address/printers/foo).
