All the other services (ssh, sftp ., etc) work between the machines. When on my home network the machines are accessable by name. Their ips are 192.168,1.100, 192.168.1.101, etc. There must be a misconfiguratin on in the cupsd.conf but I cna't find it. No browsing occurs and I can't figure out why. I have done this several times on other lans and it has worked. Would someone whose home network has printing working be willing to share there cupsd.conf with me? -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
