Supplemental: After finding a Fedora 9 PC that didn't find the printer server, I had a bit of a poke around, comparing it with another that did. On the one that worked, I missed seeing something I'd previously set on the firewall - I'd "trusted" the ethernet interface, so it'd allow communication with the rest of the LAN. And on the one that wasn't working, it started working when I allowed IPP through it's firewall. The point: Carefully check the firewalling on both the clients and the servers. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
