Hello All,
I am using Kubuntu 6.10 as my local printing machine and its cupsd.conf is as below. However, my laptop Kubuntu 6.06 connected through wired lan is not able to 'see' this printer. I uninstalled the firestarter firewall but still no result. Lpstat -a on server shows this....."HP610C accepting requests since Sat 21 Apr 2007 12:03:19 PM IST"
Where could the problem be? What commands could I try in the client machines to 'see' the printer? In the client's browser, 'server_ip_address:631' shows the printer. Any packages I could be missing?
In Sarge I followed online instructions from some site and was able to print from the laptop. But no other distro after that could duplicate the same. I manually added the shared printer in the client machine but it does not pass on print jobs to the server.
This is my cupsd.conf
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
The only difference I see in my cupsd.conf and yours seems to be that I don't have "ServerName" or the "BrowseAddress" variables defined. However, the critical information we need is in /etc/cups/printers.conf. I'm attaching mine below.

Hello All,
Could those who use simple printer sharing in Debian or Ubuntu, post their cupsd.conf files here?

This seems to be missing. Which means that others cant browse printers on your server.
BrowseAllow www.xxx.yyy.0/24
dont know what the @LOCAL means

I did it. But there is a problem from client machine side that I forgot to mention in the mail. It cannot see the printer automatically in KDE's control center printer option. In localhost:631 in the browser when I manually setup printer using ipp://server_ip/ipp, it finally asks for cups password. I can't use my sudoer user password nor can I use root password that I had created for this. The client system is Kubuntu 6.06 and in /etc/group, I cannot see cups or cupsys in the list. It does not exist in the server's /etc/group file too.
