Comment:
I don't think this is the problem. No ports need be open on the client
to print
to the print server. So long as the CUPS server has port 631
open, printing
should work.  The problem also only seems to happen with
the use of Firestarter.
I used iptables with the Webmin tool and didn't
have to open any ports to allow
remote CUPS printing. I also tried
opening port 631 on the client which did not
resolve the problem. I
wasn't able to find any instances of this problem on
other firewalls,
nor did I find any information about what other ports would
need to be
open on the client to enable printing to remote CUPS server.
