Thanks!!! > > Steve Croteau > Steve, I'm running FC3, no firewall, connected to a Cisco switch, not that much different than yours. I have two remote printers configured on my local host as shared to all. If I go to another linux box (running rawhide), I can open a browser to localhost:631 and see the printers shared from the first box. I printed a test page to test their availability without problems. What do you see on Box #2 if you run firefox localhost:631? cupsd must be running on Box #2 and port 631 should be open through its firewall as in Box #1. Bob...
