And are TCP and UDP ports 631 (ipp service, not 515, lpd, which doesn't
support autodetect) open to the LAN (your ethernet, not  localhost) on
both machines?  (Note that "permissive mode" refers to SElinux, not
iptables.  Use system-config-firewall to set up ports on the network.)

Also, there's a setting in system-config-printer Server -> Settings to
show discovered printers.  IIRC, it is on by default, but it couldn't
hurt to check that on the client.
