    Hi folks,


    ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
    IP 192.168.0.10


    I'm prepared to allow other PCs on the network sharing the printer connected to the server.


    $ apt-cache policy cupsys cupsys-client cupsys-common
    Code:
    cupsys:
      Installed: 1.2.8-0ubuntu8.4

    What additional packages I have to add? Thanks


    /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
    Code:
    # Show shared printers on the local network.
    Browsing Off
    BrowseOrder allow,deny
    BrowseAllow @LOCAL
    BrowseAddress @LOCAL
    
    Change "Browsing Off" to "Browsing On"?


    Code:
    # Only listen for connections from the local machine.
    Listen localhost:631
    Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
    Change "Listen localhost:631" to "Listen 631"?


    Code:
    # Restrict access to the server...
    <Location />
      Order allow,deny
      Allow localhost
      Allow @LOCAL
    </Location>
    

    Add follows:
    Code:
    Deny all
    Allow 127.0.0.1
    

    Then;
    sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart


    Please advise. TIA
