I have installed and uninstalled CUPS many times over the last few days but my problem persists. I'm using SuSE 8.1 Pro on two computers on a LAN. They both have CUPS installed in the server configuration. The one with the printer attached is the server and works fine. The other one is the remote.

I can access the cups server computer from the remote with my browser. ------ Snipped -------------------- I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help me solve this problem? Jerome.
It appears you have permission problems with browsing. Yast does not really setup the configuration files properly for a LAN install. The easiest way to fix the problem is to edit the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf on the machine which has the printer connected. This file is very well commented. Before you start please backup this file so that if you muck up anything you can revert back. Now with your favourite editor open /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and go down to about Line 50 you will see #ServerName myhost.domain.com Add a new entry after this line as ServerName <your full server name> e.g If your server is known as fred and your domain is linux you would add ServerName fred.linux At Line 420 you will see ######## ######## Browsing Options ########
From there go down to about Line 478 #BrowseAddress x.y.255.255 #BrowseAddress x.255.255.255 Now add in BrowseAddress <Your IP Address.255> eg if your ip address is say 10.11.12.1 you would enter BrowseAddress 10.11.12.255
Further down add in BrowseAllow
