Cups by default doesn't allow networked users to use the print queue. I don't recall the cups interface (http://localhost:631) permitting you to change that. I do recall that 'system-config-printer' has a check box associate with each printer which allows you to 'share' the printer with others on the LAN and that may be the better tool for this purpose. FWIW on my cups print server on my lan, I use this ( the last few lines of /etc/cups/cups.conf) <Location /> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From 192.168.0.0 Allow from All </Location> Browsing On BrowseProtocols cups BrowseOrder Deny,Allow BrowseAllow from @LOCAL BrowseAddress 255.255.255.255 Listen *:631 Craig
