Hi,

I've got the following systems, all connected to the local network:

A: Running Debian Etch, no printer connected
B: Running Debian Etch, Epson Stylus C86 connected & published
C: Running Debian Sid, Canon IP 4200 connected & published
D: Running Debian Etch, no printer connected

A sees all the printers in the network and is able to print on them,
the same goes for B. C only sees the IP 4200 (and can print on it),
while D seems to have absolutely no clue where to print.

I just set this up using the webinterface from CUPS, published those
printers and asked it to show published printers from other systems -
this worked for A and B.

Now my question: How can I make the two printers be visible on D and
the Epson Stylus be shown on C?

There seems to be absolutely no information about this in the net,
thus I'd really welcome any hints available.

Can each machine see the shares on the other hosts if you use the tools
from the "smbclient" package?

[...]

Sorry if I did not write that there's no Samba server running on my
entire network, just plain CUPS. Like this, the above command results
in an error connecting to <ip> (Connection refused).

I seem to have this knee-jerk reaction that I automatically think of
Windows if network printing problems are mentioned. I somehow missed the
fact that only Debian machines are involved this time...

Let's see, can you connect to the CUPS frontend of machines B and C if
you use a browser on D? What happens if you add a printer on D and put
in the appropriate ipp://hostname[:port]/resource device URI for the
printers on B and C? Do you have any access restrictions (firewall,
portmapping) on B and C? If you run nmap on D, what is reported for port
631 on B and C?
