I assume the client machine is running Linux and that you have the CUPS client 
package installed on the client machine (the notebook).  Did you 
edit /etc/cups/client.conf so that it connects to the CUPS server?

You will also need to edit the cupsd.conf file on the server so that it will 
allow the client(s) to connect.  Look at the "Network Options" and "Security 
Options" sections of that file.  For example:

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.*
</Location>

Look for that section and change it so it meets your needs.
