Are you sure the cups daemon is listening on haggis' external interface?
From the client, try 'telnet haggis 631' or 'nmap -p 631 haggis', after
installing the corresponding packages if necessary.

(server)# grep ^BrowseAddress /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
BrowseAddress @IF(eth0)

Yes, I restarted cups after the change

Client nmap output:
(client)# nmap -p 631 haggis

Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-04-03 14:36 CDT
Interesting ports on haggis.homelan (192.168.1.10):
PORT STATE SERVICE
631/tcp closed ipp
MAC Address: 00:24:1D:27:C0:FF (Giga-byte Technology Co.)

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.59 seconds


So cups simply isn't listening on eth0. What is the value of the Listen
variable in /etc/cups/cups.conf on the server?


Do you really mean /etc/cups/cupsd.conf ?

# grep -n ^Listen /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
4:Listen localhost:631
5:Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock

Does "listen", in this case, also mean "listen for *requests* from clients?"
