[Macpartners] printer setup for peripatetic laptops

[Evan Broder]

I've been working on setting up a program called MarcoPolo
(http://www.symonds.id.au/marcopolo/) - it has a wide range of "evidence
sources" to determine a current "context."

My eventual goal for myself is for it to be able to tell which building
I'm in and pick a nearby cluster printer as a default, but it sounds
like you could just look for a net-18 IP address to know that you're at
work and go from there.
