Changed it to

Listen *:631

and restarted CUPS on the server.

Ah! OK, that makes sense. I changed it appropriately, restarted CUPS
on the client machine and now I get this far:

mark@dragonfly ~ $ lpq
HP is ready
no entries
mark@dragonfly ~ $ lpstat -a
HP accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
mark@dragonfly ~ $

So far this looks OK. However, if I go into the CUPS manager on the
client and try to print a test page it's telling me the printer is not
available.

Any ideas? I guess you can print a test page from within the CUPS
manager on the client?

Thanks a lot for this much. It's helpful.
