Hi all,

I'm trying to use CUPS to print in a client-server setup.

There is no problem at all getting the server computer to print - printing
from the client is proving problematic, yet it ALMOST works. I can print a
test page from the client machine, but when I try to just print a regular
page from the client machine, nothing happens.

I'll back up and explain what I did...

Only two machines in the network. Printer is physically attached to
192.168.0.2, so this is the server machine. Client machine is 192.168.0.3,
both machine have CUPS installed and daemon is running.

On the server, I made two changes to file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf as follows:

  # broadcast address
  BrowseAddress 192.168.255.255

  <Location />
  Allow From 192.168.0.3

Then I restarted the daemon.

Now I go to the client machine, 192.168.0.3, open Mozilla, type
http://localhost:631, and click the button "Print test page" - it works!
So no problem, right? Wrong. When I open a regular html file and try to
print, nothing happens.

One last thing I tried - on the client machine, I go to file
/etc/cups/client.conf and add this line:

ServerName 192.168.0.2

I restart the CUPS daemon - no change, still cannot print from the client.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

best regards,
Robert
