Changed it to
Listen *:631
and restarted CUPS on the server.

Ah! OK, that makes sense. I changed it appropriately, restarted CUPS
on the client machine and now I get this far:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ lpq
HP is ready
no entries
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ lpstat -a
HP accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $
So far this looks OK. However, if I go into the CUPS manager on the
client and try to print a test page it's telling me the printer is not
available.
Any ideas? I guess you can print a test page from within the CUPS
manager on the client?
Thanks a lot for this much. It's helpful.
I messed around some more with mine now and found out a few more things.
I also added the following to the cupsd.conf on the print server machine.
# Show shared printers on the local network.
Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow 192.168.2.*
BrowseAllow @LOCAL
# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow localhost
Allow From 192.168.2.*
</Location>
The 192.168.2.* is my local subnet I was trying to allow printing
from. With a restart of the cups server on the machine with the
printer that client machine saw the peinter no problem.
I also now discovered that when I use the CUPS manager on the client
machine itr just forwards me to the CUPS manager on the Server
machine. Since in cupsd.conf I haven't allowed a client machine
access to change anything I can't change any of the parameters of the
CUPS manager but I am able to print a test page.
I also finished setting up KDE and everything is now working fine on
the client with the setup I have described. Sorry about forgetting to
tell you about the other two lines I changed in cupsd.conf. Hope
these changes help you.
