I would like to use cups printing in my home network which consists of a
three Linux machines connected to a DSL router.

I would like to use one of the machines as the print server and be able
to print from all the three machines, but nothing I try works. I can't
make browsing to occur.

I suspect that this has something to do with transmission to the
various machines through port 631 but could anyone explain how this can
be done?

Ordinarily, this is easy to do. Set up your server, do nothing with the
clients, and the default firewall options lets local printing sort
itself out.

When that doesn't work, you may have to rethink how your firewall is set
up. You may have to specify the server address in the
client's /etc/cups/client.conf file. You may have to hand-edit the
server /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file to listen to the local network and
allow local connections.

Read those config files, and the corresponding manuals/documentation.

I have done all this but look carefully at the firewall provided by the
DSL router. It just does not work. Browsing from server jsut does not
occur. I have done this many times with a standard lan and it has always
worked. So I am stumped.

I can't be the only one to want to do this. What do othere do?

From a client, telnet printserver 631

The firewall on the DSL router is only for inbound connections
usually, and anything on the LAN portion acts just like a hub.
Are you possibly using different subnets?ll other services ssh, sftp, etc. work between the machines

I don't think so. All the other services (ssh, sftp ., etc) work between
the machines. When on my home network the machines are accessable by
name. Their ips are 192.168,1.100, 192.168.1.101, etc.

There must be a misconfiguratin on in the cupsd.conf but I cna't find
it. No browsing occurs and I can't figure out why. I have done this
several times on other lans and it has worked.

Would someone whose home network has printing working be willing to
share there cupsd.conf with me?
