20 seems like a pretty arbitrary and lame default.  Is there a chance
we can get Xess to increase it?

If we do end up needing to add another printer, I think a better (but
more complex) idea is to have the list of printers be relative to the
host.  So, a w20 machine would get all the printers on the west side
of campus, and a m66 machine would get all the printers on the east
side, etc.
