Thanks John, Let me understand this right: Have you installed cups on the laptop? Any printer drivers? When you run localhost:631 in a browser on your laptop, what do you see under printers when the laptop is connected to the mac and what when it's not? (assuming you restart cupsd on each case to refresh its status). PS. An OT question - I am really curious what is the default mac firewall settings. Can you please post the output of: # iptables -L -v -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
