On the client machine make sure you have the ip address or the fully qualified host name of your server entered into /etc/cups/client.conf
You can test to see if cups is connecting to the server by lpstat -t which should list out the printer queues and status of the cups server.
smc:/home/tim # lpstat -t scheduler is running system default destination: HP1150c device for EspyLaserJet: ipp://espy:631/printers/EspyLaserJet device for HP1150c: ipp://espy:631/printers/HP1150c EspyLaserJet accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 HP1150c accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 printer EspyLaserJet is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00 Waiting for job to complete... printer HP1150c is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00 Waiting for job to complete... I think the problem is a filtering one, with the filter spewing out empty files for some types of input, and leaving the log entry on the print server, not the client by the way.
For some reason KDE finds the ip address of the cups server automatically but cups doesn't.
