To Bruce, Graham and the others in this thread thank you.  

	I had been wanting to setup my main machine to handle the printing for all my 
subnet hosts and by following your instructions/advice and RTFMingI have 
finally succeeded.  An important factor in making it all work, if you are 
using a firewall, is to make sure port 631 is accessible between the firewall 
and the subnet.  The docs say it is a UDP port but I found that it requires 
TCP and NOT UDP.  I'm using Shorewall so making such changes was easy. The 
rest of the CUPS stuff is pretty much default server on the main machine and 
client on the subnet hosts.  All done with Yast2.

Thanks again,
Richard
