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...
