   Thanks for the response.
   I know that I can give access to the queues. I did. I included the
sample for Lexmark4039L of this. Lexmark4039L is attached to a computer at
192.168.1.1. There is another server with a printer at 192.168.2.3. These 2
servers tell everyone else on the network what printers are on the network.
   But they don't know about each other's printers, because they can't hear
the broadcasts that tell the cups servers about such things. I tried making
them poll the other server. That didn't work, because they're not allowed
to talk to each other, according to cupsd.conf. If I add the line allowing
their polling, then everything is fine. But I don't know how to use
system-config-printer to do this. So any time it is run, this setup is
destroyed.
   I hope that makes sense.
