I have read the posts in the mailing list and have trie the solutions mentioned there. I have 5 FC4 boxes! Full name resolution on the local net, dsl router/firewall as the gateway all local traffic stays local. Epson Stylus CX6600 (as a note, I had the system functioning once through the system-config-printer utility, but I completely wiped that out and decided to try the cups alternative.) Box 1 print.local.net (the print server) Box 2 ns1.local.net (name server and general use) Box 3 ns2.local.net (slave name server and video editing) Box 4 linbook1.local.net (General Purpose laptop) Box 5 linux5.local.net (General Purpose) Configured the printer via the cups webinterface, all local printing on print.local.net works flawlessly! I have no configuration data about the printer from system-config-printer on any other host. I have tried both ways, manually pointing the /etc/cups/client.conf file at the print.local.net server and not modifying it. In either case the systems will not even see the other printer. I have selinux disabled, no firewall running or iptables. Now, from all I have read, after configuring this printer on the server it should show up for the clients within 30 seconds (that's per the cups/sam page). ######################### ##from /etc/cups/printers.conf## ######################### # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.23 # Written by cupsd on Thu 15 Dec 2005 04:12:23 PM CST <DefaultPrinter StylusCX6600> Info Epson Printer Scanner Copier Location print.local.net DeviceURI usb://EPSON/Stylus%20CX6600 State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer> Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
