Even after rebooting box #2 still isn't seeing the printer on box #1.
Does CUPS automatically display browsed queues or will I have to
manually add it?
I somehow missed the information what OS box #2 runs.
Both boxes run FC3.
Ok. So using printconf-gui, adding a printer, using IPP network printer
and as address http://<IP #1>:631 (left field) /printer/<queue_name>
(right field) does not work?

Alexander,
Here are my client (box #2) settings and also the error message.
Networked Cups (IPP)
192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 (left field)
There shouldn't be a netmask there. You're targeting a MACHINE,
not a network.
/printers/deskjet-5550 (right field)
It should be the name of the printer as known on the print server (in
your case, the machine 192.168.0.2).
In description field under main print config window;
Network host '192.168.0.2' is busy; will try again in 30 seconds...
Here are my server (box #1) settings
queue name: deskjet-5550
Locally-connected
/dev/usb/lp0 hp deskjet 5550
Sharing is configured as:
192.168.0.3 255.255.255.0
That should be "192.168.0.0/24" or "192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0". Make
sure 192.168.0.3 (the printing client) can ping 192.168.0.2 (the
print server) and vice versa. You should also get on the .0.2 machine
(server) and, as root, do a
netstat -lpn | grep 631
and make sure the machine is actually listening to the network on port
631.
Also check your iptables configuration ("iptables -L -n") on BOTH
machines and make sure you aren't blocking TCP or UDP port 631. If you
used the default "firewall security" option during install, they're
blocked--the "medium" level blocks all incoming connections except DNS.
Should you need to change it, run "system-config-securitylevel" or
"HatIcon->System Settings->Security level".
