SUSE93 CUPS Print Server Sharing
Hi, I am running SUSE 93 on my desktop and laptop. I have used YAST to configure CUPS for both of these machines. Each one currently has one printer on it, however neither can see the printer queue from the other machine. I have set everything that I can think of. What is reqiured for the two machines to share printers? Note I would prefer if both printers were on the desktop eventually. Thanks, -- Bruce Samhaber Senior Hardware Design Consultant Tel: 613-724-5987 112 Kenora St. Fax: 613-724-5987 Ottawa, Ontario Cel: 613-297-6961 K1Y 3L1 mailto: bsamhaber@sympatico.ca http://www3.sympatico.ca/marypat/

Assuming you have basic networking working between both, just make sure cups client and server is allowed in your firewall. You should be able to see the other printer via the IP:631 -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
Is it still supposed to work if both machines are CUPS Servers? I currently have one printer connected to each machine. Where does IP:631 go in the configuration. I do not recall it being there anywhere. THanks, On Wednesday 16 November 2005 00:26, Joe Morris (NTM) wrote:

Yes, because you should also have the client packages installed as well. They each can do both.

Sorry if that confused you. I meant IP = IP address, i.e. 192.168.0.2, and :631 is the port the cups server listens on, so if you added the printers that is the location you would find them, kind of like a particular street address and particular window. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871

In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf search for BrowsePoll should be around line 610 in the file. Add in BrowsePoll <IPaddress>:631 where <IPaddress> is the IP address of the other machine Do this in both machines. -- Regards, Graham Smith
