You can connect to other cups servers from your local cups server. So get your browser, go to that page, and add http://192.168.0.1:631/printers/yourprinterqueue In principle you can also let the linux machine broadcast its printers, and the mac will autodetect this. However, I usually find it tricky to get this to work through firewalls, listening disablers and other misbehaving stuff. To get this to work, read the manual. And, maybe it is also possible to make a /etc/cups/cups.client file on the mac, pointing to 192.168.0.1:631 and completely bypass the macs own cups? Works on linuxes, might also work on macs?2009/9/8 Tom H <tomh0665@gmail.com>:On Mon, Sep 7, 2009 at 12:17 PM, Leonardo Canducci<leonardo.canducci@gmail.com> wrote:I'm using cups 1.4.0 from debian sid and I have a deskjet printer connected via USB. This printer is shared (ticked "Share printers connected to this system" and "Allow printing from the Internet" in the web gui) and should be visible. I can print from linux clients. Configuring the printer on linux clients is as easy as creating a client.config file in /etc/cups with: ServerName nameofmyserver I don't even install cups on the clients, package cups-client is enough. I don't used a wizards in linux clients. Anyway some time ago I managed to configure the printer on my wife's mac. This expansive laptop is connected wirelessly (same as the linux clients) via a router. Mac osx was able to detect the printer with the protocol (IPP) and server address. Now it can't and upgrading cups to 1.4.0 broke printing from it with the old printer profile. I can print in mac console specifying host address with: lp -h 192.168.0.1:631 test.txt but the damn wizard won't detect the printer.Have you tried adding the printer through 127.0.0.1:631?as expected it doesn't work. printer is not connected to localhost
