Hi,
I'd like to install a very simple configuration but fail (CUPS is my most hated software)

I have two machines on a local network (i.e., I don't need any fancy security mechanisms)

On one machine - called SERVER - I have a USB printer which works just fine with CUPS.
I've tried to make it "shared". This printer has the name USB_printer.

On the other machine, which has no physical printer itself, I just want to add a remote printer which
uses  USB_printer on the SERVER.

If I try to configure this remote printer, my first problem is its name (URL) I've tried  ipp://SERVER:631/printers/USB_printer  but when I try to print to it,
I always get "printer cannot be located"

Would anybody be so kind to share (the relevant parts) of his/her cupsd.conf on the server as well as
on the client?

Any hints are more than welcome,
Helmut



This is what I have on the server side. My second computer is in another room via wifi and the third a raspberry-pi 2 on wifi. I used web interface to configure both.
