OK, I found a foomatic printer driver that's the same one I'm using
on my
Linux machine and installed it on my mac. I setup the printer through
the
Printer Setup Utility as the CUPS web-interface wouldn't find the
driver I
installed, however when I try and print I get the message 'Connecting
to
10.0.0.150:631' then after a while it drops into 'Network host
'10.0.0.150'
is busy...' and just stays there. My host computer isn't doing
/anything/
other than waiting for stuff to print.
This is giving me a headache...
You don't need a driver on a cups client! Make sure
"ServerName CupsServer" is mentioned in your client.conf, which
should be in /etc/cups on your MAC as well.
If I don't have a driver, my computer doesn't think it's a real printer.
Next make sure, in your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf on your CupsServer
"Listen 631" is mentioned.
Thats it.

Ok, I've done that. However if I don't have a driver for my Mac I can't
even select the printer when I'm trying to print something.
