I have two Debian boxes each with CUPS installed and each with its own printer. Each box uses its own printer with no problems. The two are on a LAN with host names Phoenix and Dragon and can ping each other with no problems. I am trying to get them to use each other's printers.

I have used lynx localhost:631 to manage the printers and have the following for Dragon:

   Default Destination: ep

   ep EPSON Stylus C2 - CUPS+Gimp-Print v4.2.7
   Description: ep
   Location: Basement
   Printer State: Idle, Accepting Jobs
   "Ready to Print"
   Device URI: usb:/dev/usb/lp0

   hp HP DeskJet 930C - Foomatic/hpjis (recommended)
   Description: DeskJet 940C
   Location: Study
   Printer State: Idle, Accepting Jobx
   "Unable to get printer status (Client-Error-Forbidden)!"
   Device URI: http://Phoenix:631/ipp

and a similar setup for Phoenix with hp as the default printer at parallel:/dev/lp0.

I assume the problem is setting permissions in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and started reading and editing this file by adding allow 192.168.2.105 (This is Phoenix's static address) in the location section but this did not solve the problem. Before I get the configuration file too messed up I thought I'd post this message in hopes someone knows an easier way or can warn me if I'm way off track.
