OK, I've had partial success. As it turns out (after a four hour power outage due to some heavy storms in the area), the <Location /> was set to Deny all and then Allow all, in that order. After I'd changed that, I was able to print from one computer to the print server, but only using the kde-print manager, as was suggested. However, as said, I don't use kde, and I don't want to depend on that. There has to be a way to just foomatic my way to the other computer. But alas, I haven't found one yet. How would I set up the "-c" part of the foomatic statement? lpd? http? ipp? Now that I know my printserver is reachable, I know it can be done, just not exactly how...
