How do I print to a remote CUPS printer

On the remote machine, FC5, I am root.
On the clients, FreeBSD and FC3, I am not root,
but can open TCP ports.
Is there a nonroot IPP client that can
be used to print on a remote printer?

On the CUPS server you must make the print queues shared. The clients'
CUPS will automatically see the shared queues on the network.

On the server, go to System->Administration->Printing, click on the
queue you want to share, then Edit, etc.

Oh, and you must have port 631 tcp and udp open on the CUPS server.

That is absolutely the wrong way to share printers using CUPS. All
printers on the same lan as the server can print to the server's
printers by default. No configuration is required.


Tell that to the cupsys install on my kubuntu-6.06.1 box, Aaron. I've now
spent prolly 12 hours over several weeks trying to get it to see the 4
printer profiles shared to the rest of my 192.168 network out of this box.
Its blind.

I would be glad to. I do this on my home network which almost the same
configuration. Show me you cupd.conf file and you client.conf and maybe
I can help you. It works like a charm but I admit I had some trouble
configuring the cupsd.conf file at first. Of course this is a fedora
list and I don't use kubantu.
