   Let me see:

	   Mother does a drawing in GIMP.
	   Mother clicks "print"
	   Mother does not have a server, but a printer attached to it.
	   Mother does not care about "server".

Mother does have a server, but neither knows nor cares about it, since
it runs on the same machine as her client.  No excuse not to do a good
architecture.
