Hi Clive.

Thanks for your reply. The printers has been set up via :631 on my 
server, and they both works ok,
but I cannot get them to print from my debian sarge via the network.

Shall I still set the printing from debian up via localhost:631 ?.

This is what the cups site say:


   Networking

Printers and classes on the local system are automatically shared with 
other systems on the network. This allows you to setup one system to 
print to a printer and use this system as a printer server or spool host 
for all of the others. Users may then select a local printer by name or 
a remote printer using "name@server".

CUPS also provides/ implicit classes/, which are collections of printers 
and/or classes with the same name. This allows you to setup multiple 
servers pointing to the same physical network printer, for example, so 
that you aren't relying on a single system for printing. Because this 
also works with printer classes, you can setup multiple servers and 
printers and never worry about a single point of failure unless all of 
the printers and servers go down!





This is not working !
