Kill any cupsd running on the client machine.  Also, the
equivalent of 'chkconfig cups off' on your client should be run.

Edit the /etc/cups/client.conf to have the line

ServerName name.of.print.server



This should be sufficient to allow cups-aware lp* commands on
the client to access the remote printer.  If you get a 'connection
refused' error on the client, then try

telnet name.of.print.server 631

If this is refused, you need to allow access to port 631 on the
server.
