The server needs to be listening (Listen and Port directives) and if you're using iptables then you need to allow TCP and UDP on port 631 (it's a good idea to log all dropped packets for debugging). Assuming that's done, check the CUPS logs under /var/log/cups. You can increase verbosity with the LogLevel directive. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
