Description ferdinand gassauer 2006-03-14 22:17:23 UTC 
IMHO the remote printers should be displayed in 
http://localhost:631/printers
ooffice 2.0.2-1 does not find the printers.
lpstat -a does not show the printers.

turning on CUPS debug level2 I can see all the remote printers broadcasted.

configuring the KDE-print-system to use the remote host as server allows printing from all KDE-apps. (So I think that the remote CUPS server broadcasts)

IIRC a while ago (2 month may be) that worked well without user intervention.
I am on SuSE 10 with all patches and security updates
Comment 1 Johannes Meixner 2006-03-15 07:32:28 UTC 
Provide /etc/cups/cupsd.conf both from the server system
which should broadcast its queues and from the client system
where you don't see the broadcasted remote queues.
Please attach them as mime type text/plain to this bug.

By the way:
Is there an active firewall running on the client system?
I.e. what does "iptables -L" show on the client system?
Comment 2 ferdinand gassauer 2006-03-16 14:59:40 UTC 
After setting up another CUPS-Server, we found out that the main cups server due to missconfiguration emitted "localhost" instead of "servername" in the broadcastet ipp string.

In addition it seemed not sufficient to restart the cups printing system to get all the printer displayed. After a reboot of the client all printers are visible again.

thanks for listiening
