This should give you the CUPS Admin Page. Print a test page while running Ethereal on the network interface of the server. This will give you information as to what exactly the firewall is blocking. This solved a print server problem I was having. If you are trying to print using UNIX legacy commands, then you need to open port 515 on the server as well. If you still have not solved the issue, post your iptables script. Ian
