Hi Aaron. This is from FC2 running on the client machine, and printing to the 
printer on the other machine by means of the print server that is running on 
whichever distro I have running on the print server machine.

Incidentally I still have problems setting up cups for new distros on the 
print server machine, and have had to resort to using the printer config 
tool. This too for printer sharing from the other machine.



/etc/cups/cupsd.conf:
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>
Browsing On
BrowseProtocols cups
BrowseOrder Deny,Allow
BrowseAllow from @LOCAL
Listen 127.0.0.1:631

And also.
/etc/cups/printers.conf:

# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.20
