Thank you for that claificattion.
My basic problem seems to be that my linux/printer is on one network
and the Mac laptop on another.
I gather that an easy was have Linux serve a printer is to install
tailscale. Unfortunately, tailscale is not in the Debian repository.
All I find is:
p golang-github-tailscale-tscert-dev
