Matthias Hopf,
only FYI:
Perhaps a local running cupsd with "BrowsePoll"
works better than the "client-only" configuration?
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.
