See "What is Specific Regarding Firewall Setup for Printing" in http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings ------------------------------------------------------------ .. specify on the laptop the trusted CUPS servers (usually one server for the office and another one for at home) and poll the list of available print queues from the trusted CUPS servers via a so called "BrowsePoll" setting in the CUPS configuration of the laptop, see SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell the section "Configuration of the clients", "Special cases". Assume printing from the laptop happens only in the office where no locally connected printer is used but only one single CUPS server of the company. Then it is no longer needed to run a CUPS server process on the laptop. Instead a so called "client-only" configuration could be set up, see SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell the section "Configuration of the clients", "Client-only configuration". A possible drawback is that application programs may be delayed for some time (until a timeout happens) when they try to access the CUPS server of the company in another network where it is actually not available (e.g. while traveling). Usually it is a host name resolution (DNS) timeout which causes the delay so that it may help to have a hardcoded entry for the CUPS server of the company in the /etc/hosts file. ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
