The clients got to be able to look whatever that is (look in http://localhost:631 on the client to see) up back to the IP of the box sharing. Try to run "host dns-to-server" on client. try to ping it as well (as the resolver refuses to resolv anything else that fqdn-names. Funny if the client is not able to look up the server, even funnyer if the server claim's it has the name "localhost" :) Try it, print something to it from the client. But have a terminal ready to do a /etc/init.d/cups stop and then a rm -rf /var/spool/cups/* ;) > > Also drill a hole for port 631:udp in the client's firewall. > > > > Right now, silly, I know, there is no firewall within my network.

I *know* it is in Norwegian, but the config files are pretty standard.
