Usually its 20000, but check using

netstat -napt|grep cups

If you can't access the client user-space cupsd from on the client, then 
you likely have the password wrong. Make sure you get the right session 
and don't copy the @ sign.

The NX client sets it all up locally, so if you access it locally there is 
no tunneling involved and in fact FreeNX isn't involved at all.

If you can't connect to the usr cupsd on the client as vivek with the 
password from the printers.conf on the server, that would count as a show 
stopper.

That means the vivek can access it with the right password.

That stuff is regarding the use cupsd on the server.

I guess you mean the client system cupsd. We're not there yet !!

That's on the server session.

That looks like it's printing over the normal network rather than via the 
FreeNX tunnel ( which is how most people run things ).

cups will sort this sort of thing out for you on its own if you publish 
your printer.

It should be localhost:agent-port  for the tunnel.


Run

        lpstat -t

whilst in a remote server session and see what you session thinks is going 
on.
