On the client mahines you want to comment out the listen localhost:631 |
| 42 |
line in cupsd.conf. Then you want to make a file in /etc/cups called |
| 43 |
client.conf. Insert in it |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
ServerName ***** |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Add whatever the name or ip address of the server machine is. |
| 48 |
Somewhere I read that you have to use the server name as defined in |
| 49 |
/etc/host, you might have to add it to the file if you haven't done |
| 50 |
this all ready. I did it that way and restrated cups and it worked. |

The lpstat command will show if you are seeing the printer or not. |

I just figured this out last night. Hope it works for you. |
