    I've taken your advice and have been working with Cups at
    <http://localhost:631>. We have 2 computers at home both connected to a
    Netgear Prosafe VPN Firewall/Router, model FVS-318. Just recently changed
    from SuSE 9.2 to FC3 on both boxes. Love FC3!! The admin program in the
    router tells me I've got box #1 with an IP of 192.168.0.2 and box #2 with an
    IP of 192.168.0.3.

    On box #1 (which is where the HP usb printer is attached) should I set up the
    printer as an IPP(http), IPP(ipp), Hal, or as a local USB printer? After set
    up in Cups, I can turn on 'sharing' in the gnome printconf gui correct? Once
    sharing is on, do I only share it with 192.168.0.3?

    On box #2 same questions, ipp(http), ipp(ipp)? Those options require a device
    URL name. I realize it depends on the answer to the previous question but am
    I close with this:

    Device URI: http://192.168.0.2:631/ipp/631

    Do I need the queue appended to that URI? The queue on the server
    is /printer/deskjet-5550.

    I keep getting messages on the client saying the network host 192.168.0.2 is
    busy. What have I screwed up besides everything? Thank you!!!
