Hello, Using the packages suggested by Florin earlier today to test Internet connection sharing (which now works for me), printerdrake when run from the server still cannot find a local printer on a client. Cups is running on both machines.
I'm no expert on this but it appears printerdrake is looking for machines on the LAN that are running CUPS, e.g. here is an example of starting printerdrake, refreshing the printer list, and running the wizard a few times: [root@damon damon]# printerdrake cupsd (pid 6501) is running...
