Run the Dagmar-favorite "netstat -tunap". You'll most likely see that cups is bound to 127.0.0.1:631. You'll need to switch it to listen on all addresses, so you'd need to add a "Listen 0.0.0.0:631" to cupsd.conf and restart the daemon. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
