Hi Aaron:

You might post a section showing what you did to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf that was
responsible for making it work. Someone else may have that problem or one
similar and would than be able to make progress using your solution. And
some of us just like to look at solutions to problems in general and learn
what we can.

Thanks,

Ok, fail enough. The client.conf files on all the machines are just
those distributed without change. I have attached my cupsd.conf file
from the server.
The key changes were these:
Listen 192,168.1.100 <-- the address of my print server


<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 192.168.1.* <-- the subnet of my home network.
</Location>

..
..
<Location /printers/ophelia> <-- ophelia is the printer on my server.
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From ALL
AuthType None
</Location>

The cupsd.conf on the clients were the files as distributed
I hope all this helps someone out there.

Note: as I said before the clients could not have a line in the
clients.conf file identifying the print server if that machine has a
local printer. Havinig that line prevents the client from printing to
its local printer.
