Usb printers brother lasers.
I had to upgrade cups so sparky could find them on local machine.

After starting cups service and trying to find the working printers across the wifi network. Printers are not showing.
$ ss -t -p -l
Show cups is running port 631.
On other network machines printers are not discovered nor by nmap.
Host cups has printers set to shared.
Firewalls are not enabled.

I must be missing something.
What?
