Hmmmm. No iptables then ?? Are the others all 11.2 too ??

Are you :- 

Actually on the network. 
Can you telnet / browse the printer net admin page ??

Printing from within a "remote" FreeNX session
ie. from another machine ?? this would set up another cupsd
( if you are lucky it does anyway )

If yes to above - do you have a local printer set up in the NX client ??
If no then FreeNX isn't going to be the problem.


Did you:-

Check that the cupsd isn't falling over ? 
     How many cupsd processes are running ??

You do actually have printers
        set up
        online and
        accepting jobs
in cups don't you ?

If you do, can you print a test page from a browser at

        http://localhost:631/printers/

on the server.

How far does it get ?? onto the Q, is it removed from the Q


If you upgraded the OS to 11.2, you may find you need to
replace remove the old

        /etc/cups/mime.convs 
        /etc/cups/mime.types

with the .rpmnew versions in /etc/cupsd
