Cups printer sharing problem [SOLVED]

[charles052]

Okay, here's the problem. I want to be able to access my printer connected to my desktop from my laptop, but the laptop, though it sees the printer just fine, can't connect to it. I don't know why. I wen to the cups homepage on both computers and even printed a test page from the desktop on the site.

The printer is a HP photosmart c4680

Here's my cupsd.conf file which I've played with quite a bit:

Re: Cups printer sharing problem

Cancel that. It was a firewall problem.
