    I have a SuSE 9.2 Pro server with a printer attached to its LPT port nd
    configured via CUPS as a full server installation. I have tested the
    printer via YAST and I get the ASCII characters test print.

    On the SuSE 9.0 Pro client, I have a CUPS client side install only and
    have tried to configure it to use the server configured printer. Alas NO
    Luck, even after specifying the server as 192.168.0.1/dev/lp0(Should
    that perhaps be //192.168.0.1/dev.lp0?). I have tried searching for IPP
    hosts and all hosts but cannot seem to get the client to
    recognize/communicate with the server CUPS install and let it use the
    servers printer.

    I have been through the firewall settings on the server to check that it
    wasn't being restricted and have also pinged the server->client and
    client->server.

    How should I go about and test to find out where the error is? ie
    perhaps start a client side test print and then when it fails where
    should I look as the entries in /var/log/cups have not changed at all
    whilst I have been testing and trying to get printing working.

    Can printer sharing be done between Linux boxen on the same private
    network(192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2)? I would certainly think so.

    P,S,L No online updates have been done to the 9.0 box, as I am on dialup
    and it is more than painful to be unemployed and have to sit through a
    2-3 hr download.
