Now I want to attach that printer from the second SuSe10.1-System, I always get unable to connect to 192.168.2.3 on port 631; the 192.168.2.3 is the address of teh box on which the printer is installed. I amn able to reach that box from the remote box.

Additional:

Obviously, CUPS is able to read the configuration from the Server; here is an excerpt from error_log
