oDroid C2 CUPS Print Server - Samsung SCX - Ubuntu 18.04 Minimal

Since we're stuck working from home, my wife and I are getting more serious about our "home office" layouts.  One thing I'd had on my "to do" list for awhile was configuring up some non-network printers to be shared via the network.  While some of this was easily solved by simply having them near another computer (impossible not to be near a computer in MY office), for other areas another solution was needed.

I had some Raspberry Pi 3b's and oDroid C2's left over from a project awhile back, so I flipped a mental coin, picked up the board that was marginally closer to me and went about setting up a print server on the oDroid C2.  However, there are similar configurations of course for the RPi.
