To Bruce, Graham and the others in this thread thank you. I had been wanting to setup my main machine to handle the printing for all my subnet hosts and by following your instructions/advice and RTFMingI have finally succeeded. An important factor in making it all work, if you are using a firewall, is to make sure port 631 is accessible between the firewall and the subnet. The docs say it is a UDP port but I found that it requires TCP and NOT UDP. I'm using Shorewall so making such changes was easy. The rest of the CUPS stuff is pretty much default server on the main machine and client on the subnet hosts. All done with Yast2. Thanks again, Richard
