I've taken your advice and have been working with Cups at 
<http://localhost:631>.  We have 2 computers at home both connected to a 
Netgear Prosafe VPN Firewall/Router, model FVS-318.  Just recently changed 
from SuSE 9.2 to FC3 on both boxes.  Love FC3!!  The admin program in the 
router tells me I've got box #1 with an IP of 192.168.0.2 and box #2 with an 
IP of 192.168.0.3. 

On box #1 (which is where the HP usb printer is attached) should I set up the 
printer as an IPP(http), IPP(ipp), Hal, or as a local USB printer?  After set 
up in Cups, I can turn on 'sharing' in the gnome printconf gui correct?  Once 
sharing is on, do I only share it with 192.168.0.3?

On box #2 same questions, ipp(http), ipp(ipp)?  Those options require a device 
URL name.  I realize it depends on the answer to the previous question but am 
I close with this:

Device URI: http://192.168.0.2:631/ipp/631

Do I need the queue appended to that URI?  The queue on the server 
is /printer/deskjet-5550.

I keep getting messages on the client saying the network host 192.168.0.2 is 
busy.  What have I screwed up besides everything?  Thank you!!!
