Thank you for the clarification.  I am unclear on how to address this
authentication issue.  This is just a home network so my security needs
are minimal.  I have selected the various checkboxes in the
Administration tab of the CUPS web-GUI to share printers etc.  As I
mentioned in my first post, the printers are seen from the clients,
print jobs are sent from the clients, but they are not processed by the
server.  I cannot seem to find the documentation on this authentication
issue and Googling for "cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided"
just turns up lots of questions with no answers.

Any assistance or pointers in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you.
