You need to tell CUPS on the machine with the printer to broadcast it's
services and allow access from computers on the local network. Once
that is done the client should automatically find the server within a
minute or so. In /etc/cups.conf, change the following:
#BrowseAddress x.y.z.255
#BrowseAddress x.y.255.255
#BrowseAddress x.255.255.255
#BrowseAddress 255.255.255.255
BrowseAddress @LOCAL # un-comment this
#BrowseAddress @IF(name)

Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From @LOCAL # add this
