Hi Barry
Had all sorts of fun and games setting up a network printer here - Finally fixed it by adding rp=PASSTHRU to the printcap file. Try this on machine2.
Regards, Paul.
Machine2 uses CUPS and there is almost nothing in the printcap file.

Try installing CUPS on machine1. You'll find it automatically broadcasts the availablity of it's printers to other CUPS servers on the network. This can be turned off, and restricted any way you want.
I have this at home, with a machine running Mandrake 8.2 which has two pritners, one via parallel, the other via a Dlink ethernet print server. The other machine has RedHat8 and CUPS, which picked up the printers instantly.
