What's wrong with just putting the servers name in
/etc/cups/client.conf?
There's no need to be running another daemon ... all you need in
debian to use cups on another server is cupsys-client and it's
depends.
However, I installed cupsys-client pacakage, and added the ServerName in /etc/cups/client.conf. After that
lpstat could see the printer name and status. But when I use lp -d printername filename, lpstat said "
sending 341515 bytes..... " something like this for a long time. And the printer on the server did not reponse.
So what's the matter? The server uses cupsys and seems quite normal. other client machines( windows or BSD lpr system in linux)
could use the printer withou problems.
Thanks
