Firstly don't use YAST to configure CUPS on the client machine. It's only usefull for setting up a machine which has printers attached.
YaST2 options in SuSE 8.1 indicate it can configure CUPS on a client machine; IPP protocol is supported. I haven't tried it but if it doesn't work then the problem should be reported and fixed ASAP. (I only used YaST2 to setup CUPS to print on a network printer using lpd and it worked flawlessly.) YaST2 doesn't support configuration of security options on the print server (/etc/cups/cupsd.conf). Does the CUPS web interface or Webmin support it? I don't know the answer but I ask because the Linux community must actively work on making these configurations easy for end users. People don't need to know how a TV set works, they just push the button. The same principle should apply to Linux too - make it as easy as possible for end users. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
