I have a server running fedora core 4 that has a local CUPS printer attached to it. I want to print to it from my SUSE 10 laptop. There are no printers that show up in the yast hardware section. If I go to the printing manager I see the remote printer but I cant print to it.
In general regarding "Configuring CUPS in the Network" see http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/jsmeix_print-cups-in-a-nutshell.html
Kevin, there are actually two choices. When you use your laptop only in your home network, then the laptop's CUPS system is completely configured as a client to your server, as per Johannes' description. Then you see all queues and printers from the remote system as if they were local. When you use your laptop also in other environments (work or customer) and want to print there as well, you may set up a local CUPS server and define the remote printer queue of your fedora server as an IPP printer. Then you can also add the printer at work, also as IPP or JetDirect (aka socket), etc. I think you get the picture. But I cannot tell you how one sets up remote IPP printers via yast; I use the CUPS Web interface.
