[gentoo-user] remote machines - cups config question

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   My parents are both now using Linux. My mom, approaching 80, has
finally started using Gentoo. My dad has been using Gentoo for about 6
years now.

   They have a network addressed HP printer. I have cups on both
machines but have never configured my mom's new machine to print. My
dad's machine prints fine. I've installed the hplip package on my
mom's machine and am wondering if I can just copy the whole /etc/cups
directory from my dad's machine to my mom's and expect cups to work?

   It's difficult to get firefox displaying here from my mom's
machine, although I'll do it if required.

Thanks,
Mark
