I had order allow,deny and the correct order should be order deny,allow thank you Brian for your collaboration: I suppose that the cupsenable and cupsaccept you gave me are not useless. I'll check that on an other client. best regards, -- Pierre Frenkiel

Would you also do 'ippfind -T 5'? (-T 5 may not be needed). -- Brian.

That includes both the IP address and the name and path of the printer. Did you use CUPS to set up the printer and the printer queue? Discovering USB printers on other machines seems to be built in to CUPS these days. First, be sure the printer is shareable. http://localhost:631/help/sharing.html?QUERY=sharing -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
