I have read the posts in the mailing list and have trie the solutions
mentioned there.
I have 5 FC4 boxes!
Full name resolution on the local net, dsl router/firewall as the
gateway all local traffic stays local.
Epson Stylus CX6600 (as a note, I had the system functioning once
through the system-config-printer utility, but I completely wiped that
out and decided to try the cups alternative.)
Box 1 print.local.net (the print server)
Box 2 ns1.local.net (name server and general use)
Box 3 ns2.local.net (slave name server and video editing)
Box 4 linbook1.local.net (General Purpose laptop)
Box 5 linux5.local.net (General Purpose)
Configured the printer via the cups webinterface, all local printing
on print.local.net works flawlessly!
I have no configuration data about the printer from
system-config-printer on any other host.
I have tried both ways, manually pointing the /etc/cups/client.conf
file at the print.local.net server and not modifying it. In either
case the systems will not even see the other printer.
I have selinux disabled, no firewall running or iptables.
Now, from all I have read, after configuring this printer on the
server it should show up for the clients within 30 seconds (that's per
the cups/sam page).
