Then you want to make a file in /etc/cups called client.conf. Insert in it ServerName ***** Add whatever the name or ip address of the server machine is. Somewhere I read that you have to use the server name as defined in /etc/host, you might have to add it to the file if you haven't done this all ready. I did it that way and restrated cups and it worked. lpstat -a Epson accepting requests since Mon Sep 18 12:19:08 2006 hp_photosmart_7700_series_USB_1 accepting requests since Wed Jul 26 20:25:52 2006 The lpstat command will show if you are seeing the printer or not. I just figured this out last night.
