What do othere do? > My printer is attached to box borg, and boxes david and chameleon print only to that. (I'm still on FC4, so anything that has changed since then will have to be considered.) On the local box: /etc/cups/client.conf ServerName borg.mylan.net The following lines are at the end of /etc/cups/cups.conf: # # End of "$Id: cupsd.conf.in,v 1.17 2005/01/03 19:29:45 mike Exp $". # <Location /printers/printer> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 AuthType None Allow from 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 </Location> # Lines below are automatically generated - DO NOT EDIT Browsing On BrowseProtocols cups BrowseOrder Deny,Allow BrowseAllow from @LOCAL Listen 127.0.0.1:631 As far as I can recall, ONLY the line in /etc/cups/client.conf was inserted by me. On borg - the print server - the generated lines in cups.conf indicate the separate instances of the same printer that I have set up for different purposes: # End of "$Id: cupsd.conf.in,v 1.17 2005/01/03 19:29:45 mike Exp $". # # Lines below are automatically generated - DO NOT EDIT <Location /printers/Printer> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 AuthType None Allow from All </Location> <Location /printers/Draft> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 AuthType None Allow from All </Location> <Location /printers/Photo> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 AuthType None Allow from All </Location> <Location /printers/deskjet-990c--1> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 AuthType None </Location> Browsing On BrowseProtocols cups BrowseOrder Deny,Allow BrowseAllow from @LOCAL BrowseAddress 255.255.255.255 Listen *:631 FWIW, I set this up before I read the conventional wisdom that one should not mix cups configuration and system-config-printer. I used both tools, and have had no problems. HTH Anne
