    Thanks for reading this far!

    I have a network in my office, with boxes running Win98, WinXP, and a few
    Linux boxes. One box in particular, Elrond, is running Fedora Core 2, and
    I am trying to set it up as a printer server for all the boxes on the
    network.

    Right now, Elrond is configured with a directly connected LaserJet, lp0,
    a color InkJet connected to a box running Win98SE, and a network LaserJet
    with a built-in JetDirect interface. Elrond can print to each of these
    printers without a problem.

    My problem comes up when I try to point another box to Elrond, intending
    to use one of its printers. For example, another box, "Otto", running
    Fedora Core 1, is configured with the same three printers, with the URIs
    referencing Elrond. Elrond will accept printing to its directly connected
    printer, but for one of the "pass-thru" printers, e.g., "color", it
    returns the message "Unable to get printer status
    (client-error-not-authorized)!"

    I have looked thru the cupsd.conf file on Elrond, and can't find anything
    that should be blocking access. In the "printers.conf" file, all three
    printers are configured the same.

    Below is the "cupsd.conf" file from Elrond, minus comment lines. What am
    I missing?

    Note: Elrond = 192.168.1.5
            Otto = 192.168.1.14

    Now, here is "printers.conf" from Elrond:
