[gentoo-user] Sharing printers via Cups

[Dan Egli]

Hey folks, I'm a bit lost on this, so I hope you can help me out.

I have a computer I want to act as the central print server for a 
network. It would spool all jobs for all printers, and send them out to 
the actual computers the printers are connected to, or to the printer 
itself in the event of a printer directly connected to the network. To 
start with, I have setup the server and added the printer connected to a 
Windows 10 Home computer to it. After a bit of work, I managed to get it 
so I can print a test page from cups and it comes out on the printer. 
But when I try to connect another computer to the printer via the print 
server, the other computer never sends it out. Just says the printer is 
busy.

How can I set this up correctly? To describe exactly what I'm trying to 
do, let's just use four computers in this example. A is the central 
print server. B is the windows client with the printer. C and D are 
linux machines. What I want is if either C or D print something, they 
both send it to A, and then A sends it to B.

Thanks!
