This letter documents How I set up printing on debian sid remotely ie: from 1 computer running sid to another computer running sid.
good articles on cups setup remotely http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Networking/Setting_Up_a_Network_Printer_using_CUPS http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS_Setup#Linux_to_Linux https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/09/howto-print-from-one-ubuntu-printer-to-another-with-xubuntu/ Here are my brief notes. My network is 192.168.10.* and I have the server set up at 192.168.10.18 key things are: On server: edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf 1) delete the following two lines Localhost:631 /var/run/cups/cups.sock substitute the line Port 631 2) add the line Browsing On 3) In Location stanza allow the following <Location /> Order allow,deny Allow localhost AuthType None Allow From 192.168.10.64 Allow From 192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0 # alternative Allow From 192.168.*.* </Location> ????????????? possibly may need a line ServerName 192.168.10.18 ?????????????? possiby may need a line BrowseAddress 192.168.10.255 **************** I then set up a printer. i called it hplaserjet on the server. I used cups web administration localhost:631 ***************** On the client machine I created a file called /etc/cups/client.conf which has the line ServerName 192.168.10.18 where the ip address is that of your printer server. i then needed to go into the web based adminstration module on the client to install the printer in web browser open up localhost:631 go into administrative module i needed to set up the printer. click add a printer call it anything you want then enter this location ipp://192.168.10.18:631/printers/hplaserjet where 192.168.10.18 is the printer server. then select the right driver then this should work. i dont know why this is so darn difficult now on debian.
