You are going about it the right way. On each server (it's a server when you talk about the attached printer, and a client when you talk about the printer attached to the other machine) you need to make sure the client is allowed access to the /printers location and maybe /classes and /jobs as well. I have in my cupsd.conf file on a machine sharing its printer: <Location /printers> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From 192.168.1.1/24 </Location> Note that I am sharing with the entire NAT subnet, which probably makes sense for you as well (though you'll have to change the subnet, of course). } Tom George --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
