For example, not specifying a server in the client.conf file on the clients will only alllow you to print to printers on the same lan. the cupsd.conf on the server(s) determine to what newtworks will the printer broadcaqting be done. If it worked in FC5 and FC6 then your files on those systems were different then your current files. You should check the manuals at localhost:631. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
