Make sure that in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf you have a Listen 192.168.0.1:631 line. Without it, IIRC, CUPS will listen on localhost:631. Thank you, just what I needed. It's not mentioned in the Gentoo printing doc for some reason, even though they cover remote administration. It's now working great via: http://192.168.0.1:631/printers/brotherhl2040 - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo print server
Make sure CUPS is installed and cupsd is running (/etc/init.d/cupsd start) - 'rc-update add' it too so it starts at boot obviously. After that, just make sure you're connecting to the right address for that host.
