Isn't this the reason? Is the printer marked as shared on the remote
computer?
It is.
Here is the printers.conf from the remote machine:

I cannot get rid of the AuthInfoRequired line;
if I delete it, it just re-appears.
Any enlightenment more than gratefully received.
I attach cupds.conf for two machines below.
They were created by CUPS web interface,
and seem perfectly standard to me.
I thought the problem might be due to using hp-setup,
but I have yum-removed this,
and also re-installed cups on both machines,
after deleting all cups files I could find.
But all this had no effect; the outcome is the same.
