[cups.general] sharing configuration

[cedric briner]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a cups system to serve at the best roaming laptop 
and workstation.

I'm having some problems here and there.

1) Some times, my cups server start to advertise with a 0 port instead 
of 631.

2) How do you manage (by policies in cups or other), that a failing job 
does not block all the queues.

3) Is there a good pointer telling how to configure iptables in function 
of which feature we enable on cups

ced

P.-S.
- the main server in on debian/lenny which is of version 1.3.8
- the main server has to interfaces :
    - the private one 10.194.x.x
    - the public one 129.194.x.x

the cupsd.conf is:
LogLevel debug
Listen 10.194.65.10:631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock

BrowseInterval 30
