9 Are you telling me that the printers the server knows of should appear in
10 the client's cups web page automatically? That certainly doesn't happen,
11 which is why I've been trying to tell the client where to find its
12 printers.

17 This looks important (trimming time & date etc.):
18 cupsdAcceptClient: 8 from 192.168.2.6:631 (IPv4)
19 cupsdReadClient: 8 POST / HTTP/1.1
20 cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.
21 cupsdSendError: 8 code=403 (Forbidden)
22 cupsdCloseClient: 8
23
24 (The log is taken from the server after running lpstat -a on the client; the
25 IPv4 address shown is the client.)
26
27 What kind of authentication data does that mean? User ID confirmation? SSH
28 keys? As far as I know I haven't done anything particular to SSH or SSL. The
29 Gentoo printing guide doesn't mention gnutls or ldap, so I haven't set them
30 up, or even installed them.

34 Indeed. Perhaps I should withdraw that remark - it shows just what depth of
35 frustration can build up over a period of several months of repeated
36 failure in a straightforward task.
