A further observation:  On the desktop my wife wanted to print something
and the print dialog came up showing two entries which appear new to me:
Printer.......................................Location
....................  ................ Status
print
...............................................................................................
Rejecting Jobs
HP-Officejet-4630-series .... denis-ThinkPad-L420.local

That second one--Location listed is my laptop.  Is this provide any clues?
