Hi Bruno, Normally being against web interfaces, I found 'http://127.0.0.1:631/' very useful for setting up printing for cups -- from the laptop that would be. Be sure to choose 'LPD/LPR Host or Printer' and then 'lpd://hostname/queue' with the server/queue. And that would be it. Take care of any firewall configuration, and make sure your lpd on the server is listening for requests.
