Firstly what is the output of lpstat -t on both your server and client.
Server: hylton@Umalusi:~> lpstat -t lpstat:Unable to connect to server: connection refused
Client: hylton@Spy:~> lpstat -t lpstat: Unable to connect to server: Resource temporarily unavailable
The lpstat command prints the status of the CUPS server. man lpstat will give you all the options.
From the above it appears that cups is not running properly. I suggest you run as root rccups restart and then see if lpstat -t reports the status of Cups. You should get something similar to the following
--------------------------------- lpstat -t scheduler is running system default destination: CLP550N device for CLP550N: lpd://10.212.64.20/lp device for CLP550N/duplex: lpd://10.212.64.20/lp device for CLP550N/env: lpd://10.212.64.20/lp CLP550N accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 CLP550N/duplex accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 CLP550N/env accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 printer CLP550N is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00 Data file sent successfully printer CLP550N/duplex is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00 Data file sent successfully printer CLP550N/env is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00 Data file sent successfully Lucky you :) All I get is as before :( Server: hylton@Umalusi:~> lpstat -t lpstat:Unable to connect to server: connection refused
the error messages in /var/log/cups/error_log It should give you a reason why it is failing. All I get is an error number 98 when I rccups restart. Below is the last few lines copied and pasted from the SERVERS /var/log/cups/error_log as it was booted.

The server I not worry about but I am wondering about your servername entry in the client.conf file as it seems to have 2 full stops after the IP ie 192.168.0.1 .. before your comment. I assume those should be deleted?
I just checked the '..' are actually tab stops that your editor displays as a '.' You will notice them everywhere I have added comments. Also saw that when I opened and pressed the TAB key in Kate :)
