Hi I am an 81 year old newbie with suse-linux. I have 2 machines (I collect other peoples discards). On machine-1 I am running Mandriva 2006. On machine-2 I am trying out Suse 10.0. My printers are hooked up to machine-1. I am trying to print from machine-2 but I am completely confused with the setup in YAST. No matter what combination I try I cannot print from machine-2. Can some kind soul give me some hints as to where I can get tutorials about setting up remote printing. Bear in mind that I have no formal training in computers so I need something that is detailed. Thanks. Bill

See
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/jsmeix_print-cups-in-a-nutshell.html
in particular the "Configuring CUPS in the Network" section
but you may have to read the complete article to understand
the meaning of the technical terms.
Summary:
You must allow print queue access on the Mandriva machine.
You should send browsing information about the queues on
the Mandriva machine.
On the Suse machine you should do nothing (if the Suse machine
is in the same network as the Mandriva machine) because by
default the cupsd is running on the Suse machine (if not,
start the cupsd on the Suse machine, you can use the YaST
"Runlevel Editor" to do it).
Note that the above support database article is not about
how to set up the network correctly. For printing in the
network the network must be set up correctly.
See the printing chapter in the online Suse "Administration Manual"
how you can test printing services in the network,
Examples:
On the Suse machine use
netcat -z

Thank you Johannes for the detailed tutorial. I guess I have some work to do. -- Cheers Bill
