I have no idea how that server is configured, since I am not the admin.
All I know is that no encryption should be required and the mentioned
settings work fine. I can query the http site of the server and see
every printer. I doubt that it broadcasts its printers though. Going to
ask the admin.

Maybe. This is indeed not the same subnet.

Since this is some kind of "guest" network I do not know of any other
machines.

I have a fedora 11 client here at work and it won't play nicely with the
cups server here.
And I guess I know why:
connect(18, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631),
sin_addr=inet_addr("10.146.2.17")}, 16) = -1 EHOSTUNREACH (No route to
host)
This happens after alot of conversation. I am going to ask the admin
what this machine is and what it is good for (simple guess: It's the
printer and I am not allowed talking to it directly).
The question is: why do I need to connect to a printer (or any other
machine) when I only want to talk to a cups server??
