The simplest way is to install these packages on the client (not sure
if cupsys-bsd is really needed)
cupsys install
cupsys-bsd install
cupsys-client install
libcupsimage2 install
libcupsys2-gnutls10 install
Cups has a (default enabled) browsing protocol which will let the
cupsys server on your client pc discover printers which are configured
on the cupsys other server[1]. This should simply work, though if either
system has more than one IP or network card, you may need to configure
BrowseAddress in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
[1] OK, I'm simplifying things here. In a more diverse network, any
one cupsys process can discover printers on any other cups
server. AFAIK even windows can't beat that :)
