install the cups server (and client) onto the new box and only the client on the old box. edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf at the server to allow machines in your network to use the printer and possibly also to allow configuration from a remote host. on your old box edit /etc/cups/client.conf to point to the server. get yourself into groups "lp" to be allowed to print and maybe group "lpadmin" too: to be allowed to change printer settings. be aware to configure the cupsd to only listen on your internal interface since your don't want internet access to your printer. from the new machine the cupsd can be configured with the browser pointed to http://localhost:631 ; from the remote host: http://<ip-of-new-box>:631 more information can be found in /usr/share/doc/<packet-name> > Thanks! > > Mark sl ritch. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
