For that sort of network, I'd be subnetting further.  Making each
building a separate subnet, or at least configuring cups servers in each
location which have a limited range of IPs they'll talk with (or some
other limit, if not by IP, to the group of users/computers that can use
it), so that each client sees a printer that's local, and none of the
remotes.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
