Thanks John, |

Let me understand this right: Have you installed cups on the laptop? |
| 32 |
Any printer drivers? When you run localhost:631 in a browser on your |
| 33 |
laptop, what do you see under printers when the laptop is connected to |
| 34 |
the mac and what when it's not? (assuming you restart cupsd on each |
| 35 |
case to refresh its status). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
PS. An OT question - I am really curious what is the default mac |
| 38 |
firewall settings. Can you please post the output of: # iptables -L -v |
