I am running Debian Etch on my desktop machine connected to a Verizon
FIOS router, which includes wireless. My wife has an ASUS EEE PC which
connects flawlessly to the wireless router. Our printer is connected to
the desktop which is running CUPS. CUPS also runs on the EEE. How do I
get the EEE to recognize the printed on the desktop?
I have set the server settings on the desktop to "Share published
printers connected to this system".
I restarted cupsd after making this change.
I have verified that the printers that I want the EEE to access are
published, according to CUPS.
The EEE, as I said, is also running CUPS and the default settings are to
"Show printers shared by other systems" so it seems to me that it should
find the printer from the desktop, but it doesn't.
According to the tutorial at
www.debiantutorials.org/content/view/110/228/ this should be all that I
need.
What am I missing?
On the desktop, /etc/cups/cupsd.conf contains:
# Show general information in error_log.

SystemGroup lpadmin
# Allow remote access
