one way you can do this is use the features of cups...for instance, |
| 24 |
my macintosh has a laser printer attached: the cupsd.conf sys this: |
| 25 |
Port 631, Listen /private/var/run/cupsd, BrowseAddress @LOCAL, |
| 26 |
BrowseShortNames No, BrowseAllow @LOCAL, BrowseDeny ALL and later |
| 27 |
<Location /> |
| 28 |
Order Deny,Allow |
| 29 |
Deny From All |
| 30 |
Allow From @LOCAL |
| 31 |
Allow from 192.168.1.51 |
| 32 |
</Location> |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
all this allows all machines on the same subnet as my mac (@LOCAL) to |
| 35 |
browse the list of printers and allows all from the local subnet to |
| 36 |
print, well, i've also explicitly allowed my laptop access. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
on the laptop, I also have Port 631, and not much else. I have NO |
| 39 |
printers configured in my laptop...default gentoo install. when i'm |
| 40 |
on the net, it gets the broadcast from the mac and I can print...when |
| 41 |
i'm not, i have no printers at all. |
