/etc/hosts.lpd must contain a list of clients permitted to use this
local printer. Without this set up you cannot remote print. The
installer makes no attempt to set this up, or even to create the
file. (Smack!).
I suspect the above may apply to lpd remote printing only. How does
CUPS manage remote client authentication? Surely there is an
equivalent file, which can only be set up manually, since only the
system administrator knows who is permitted access to each remote
printer?
