In only one case is it common, this machine. 4 others were, a month ago,
perfectly working clients.

check but that GO704 machine is the only client machine with a
client.conf.

As in "ServerName 192.168.71.3:631"?

I have created that file, with that contents on the two older machines
that didn't have it. And added that line to a third machine that did
have a client.conf but no ServerName directive.
The two machines that did not have that file, do have a cups.client.deb
installed, but the deb does not have that file in the deb.
So I'm still in the dark. I've no clue what got changed.
The only clue I get from the servers logs was generated by the rpt4,
client not authorized. That also generates a line in the access log,
and it looks successfull.
As theres two physical printers, I just tried the other printer, and
elderly brother hl-2140, but its was rejected too, from the error_log:

I'm about burned out on this for now as I need to start getting prepared
for a new aortic valve installation Tuesday. Any cups stuff from this
server, just yell.
Thanks deloptes.
