I can't see any IP setting in the cupsd.conf on server that would treat desktop (192.168.0.2) differently than laptop (192.168.0.5 or 192.168.0.6). So I guess there is something on the client computers that make the difference.

And here is the CUPS access log after runing the command on both computers:

192.168.0.6 - - [13/Sep/2006:02:07:31 +0200] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 350 CUPS-Get-Printers successful-ok

It looks like the desktop which doesn't have the tab doesn't have the line containing "GET /ppd/K550.ppd HTTP/1.1"
