Hi. I have a server her, that acts as a printerserver too. Also I have a 9.1 client. Both systems are running cups. As I can see from Yast, to set a remote cups printer up, stops the printerport on the client from working. How is the server being set up to broadcast, and the client to receive broadcasts ?.

Hi.
I have a server her, that acts as a printerserver too. Also I have a 9.1 client.
Both systems are running cups.
As I can see from Yast, to set a remote cups printer up, stops the printerport on the client from working.
Doesn't ring a bell here. Setting up a cups client with an already running server has always been a breeze.
How is the server being set up to broadcast, and the client to receive broadcasts ?.

Thank you Theo. But after I wrote the message, I have been on the Cups homepage. Here I could see, that it was not necessary to do anything. After that, I did set the printer up via Yast, and choosed "Cups Using Broadcasting". Obviously my patience has not been great enough to wait for the 30 seconds, as it wouldn't work :-) It works like a charm. 73 de Erik OZ4KK
