General: How setup multiple CUPS servers

The CUPS client needs to have a cupsd running. Its cupsd.conf must contain a "Browsing On" statement, and not any statement that does "BrowseDeny From ...".

The CUPS server (obviously) needs to have a cupsd running too. Its cupsd.conf must contain a "Browsing On" plus a "BrowseAddress @LOCAL" statement (other variations are possible).

CUPS client and CUPS server should be on the same LAN (so the server's UDP browsing broadcast packages do reach the client).

Basically yes. (And remove any contents from the client.conf file).

Cheers,
Kurt
