Then you should have no issues. Set up printer sharing on the host system via control center or system settings (or whatever uou GUI calls it if not Gnome or KDE) then set the clients to connect to a networked printer. CUPS handles this much better than lpr does if your cli only then use the built in web interface http://hostmame:631 you can also use the IP Address of the host. Use a client system and you can remote admin your CUPS system. On Feb 20, 2012 10:26 PM, "Scott Vargovich" <[email protected]> wrote:
