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??
