[FreeNX-kNX] Client-side CUPS printing

Hello Fabian,

Which port numbers get opened on the server and client-side for  
printing?

Now I see that a cups daemon starts up on the client-side with 20000  
port. But on the server side, I am not positive what port I should  
check for, and how the printers should be checked and configured.

Based on some other thread, I changed my CUPS printing configuration  
on the server-side to listen to localhost:3000 and that asks me for a  
username/password now. I am giving my client-side username/password  
there, but it keeps coming back with the same dialog over and over.  
Could you please explain how that is to be done?

Thanks,
Prakash
