I seem to have this knee-jerk reaction that I automatically think of Windows if network printing problems are mentioned. I somehow missed the fact that only Debian machines are involved this time... Let's see, can you connect to the CUPS frontend of machines B and C if you use a browser on D? What happens if you add a printer on D and put in the appropriate ipp://hostname[:port]/resource device URI for the printers on B and C? Do you have any access restrictions (firewall, portmapping) on B and C? If you run nmap on D, what is reported for port 631 on B and C? -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
