I have a small LAN in my apartment and I am trying to print from the notebook
to the printer attached to the desktop. All services seem to work, I can use
XDM and ssh and the other hosts show up in the LAN browser. There is an
iptables rule allowing all protocols and services for local addresses. But
when I try to use KCC->Peripherals->Printers->Add Printer Wizard, when I get
to the panel with the list of ipp printers, nothing is shown. I played around
with the CUPS server settings and managed to broadcast the printer definition
to the notebook from the desktop, but when I printed something the output
disappears: it is on neither machines' spool. It seems I am almost there but
have missed something! Anybody got a clue?
TIA
-Robin.
