Now that cups 1.6 is in core - I have been struggling to get my laptop to "see" a shared printer attached by usb to another machine on the same network - previously if port 631 was open on all machines in the network then cups seemed to make the printer visible on all local machines. I have been reading that avahi-daemon needs to be running for printer discovery to work with the new version of cups but I have not been able to get my laptop to see the cups shared printer on a desktop elsewhere in the same network - does anyone have a link to the key steps in the config to get this working? I did read that under the new system avahi needs to be running on both server and client - but in my case the "server" machine is linux but not arch and still running cups version <1.6 and is not currently running avahi.... Any advice gratefully received. Thanks -- mike c
