yes i tried this also for some time with no luck, i saw the printers that i set up on my cups server from another linux box, but i can't print to them... but after a while i found the solution... you have to allow others computers ip adresses whithin the printer manager of the kde desktop... there you can configure the security items of the cups-server and you can allow or deny specific ip adresses and/or networks... i use a german desktop environment, so i do not know the exact english translations of the menu's and menu items... but you will find it... martin Zitat von Vincent van de Camp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > I've set up an HP DeskJet printer on one of my Gentoo computers without > a problem using cups.
