Wait a minute! After long enough looking at that like a poleaxed ox, I suddenly see a sense it might make. Are you saying I can have four tabs in the same browser *on the same machine* open to CUPS on all four??
Yes.
I tried substituting some current LAN IP numbers for 127.0.0.1, and got this every time from Firefox :
You have to turn on remote administration first.
Oho the First; I was trying to be too paranoid.
Go to http://localhost:631/admin on each machine - you should only have to do this once. Make sure all these check boxes are checked on the machine with the printer attached:
Share published printers connected to this system Allow printing from the Internet
Oho the Second : that need not mean some script kiddie can run my printer dry printing gibberish??
On every machine that you want to administer from another machine, make sure the "Allow remote administration" box is checked. You may also have to open port 631 in the firewall.
The boxes are checked; lst's hope I don't have to tinker with the firewalls.
On all the machines that do NOT have the printer attached, make sure the "Show printers shared by other systems" box is checked.
Are you saying it should *not* be checked on the one *with* the printer??
