Remote printing is a function of listening on port 631

Out of the box, the cupsd.conf has

# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
Listen localhost:631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock

Change the localhost line to the hostname or IP address of your host and it will be capable of receiving remotely originated jobs.

You can also use the Port directive to have it listen on all interface for a specific port.

I have SELinux not enabled.

Our print server still runs RHEL 4, so I can't help much otherwise; sorry.

My RHEL4 cupsd.conf works and I have put that in place, for the time
being.  I guess the stock RHEL5 cupsd.conf is more secure than the
RHEL4 version, so some setting has to be changed explicitly to allow
remote printing.  I'll go through all the differences when I've more
time.

"Fighting" cupsd.conf is something occurring whenever you want to change
something ;-).  In the past, I also saw those "ghost changes" that made
your print system not work anymore after a while, but since I found out
what packages are "guilty" for that, I'm standard removing those on every
system I install :).
