    How do I get Print Configuration Tool to see my network CUPS server?

    Hi All,

    I am demo'ing Kubuntu 9.04 workstation to a customer. He has a CentOS 5.3 server (my doing). On it is our CUPS Network file server. Everyone (65 of them) print to our network printer through it using LPR/LPD (and sometimes Samba).

    Problem: when Kubuntu's Print Configuration Tool went looking for printers, it found every network printer's IP address, but missed my CUPS printer server. What did I do wrong on one or both ends (I have control over both).

    Many thanks,
    -T

    Open the CUPS interface in your browser, http://localhost:631 and click on the Administration tab. and put a check mark by "Show printers shared by other systems".
