Thanks, I'll give it a try. The BrowsePoll option was one that I didn't have in my configuration. And if that doesn't work, I may have to set up an additional cups server on each subnet as others have suggested I'm still a bit curious why it worked without additional settings on Fedora 8 (and earlier) David PS: also thanks to others who resonded, but I already ruled out firewall (and selinux) issues.
