remote printing with cups

[kapil singh]

Hello,

Make sure that your setting is looking something like like,

server setting (where printer is installed)


file : /etc/cups/cupsd.conf


<Location />

# Allow remote administration...

Order allow,deny

Allow @LOCAL

Allow 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

Allow from 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

</Location>


Listen 127.0.0.1:631

Listen 192.168.1.8:631


client setting: (from where we have to make print)


file : /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

# Show shared printers on the local network.
BrowsePoll 192.168.1.8:631 

---------------------------------------------------
replace I.P/subnet setting with your network settings, according to which
class of I.P address you are using.
Replace 192.168.1.8  with your printserver ip address.

Restart the cups service on both server and client computer after doing
that.

$ sudo  /etc/init.d/cupsys  restart

Reply me if it works or having any problem. well, I am working with this
configuration right now.

Thanks  and regards
