Is the second machine listed in your /etc/exports.allow ?
I thought that was only used for NFS? I think LPRng used hosts.lpd, but I don't know what CUPS uses.
Me too. Cups is configured in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf on here, for network (IPP) connections you need to change the allowed machines, works very much in the same way as apache's set up as far as I can see.
Hope that gives a starting point.
Cheers,

Ah, I should have caught up on all my mails before replying. I've allowed everything in cupsd.conf, restarted the server, but can't print from either a windows samba share or a linux box on the same network: the requests are getting through but tail-ing the cups access/error log don't give clues, logging on full. The windows error is "permission denied", the linux box doens't give one. Both the win and linux are connecting as users I've set up on the server, as ordinary and samba users. I set my firewall to allow everything local in case that was the problem. Baffled, Jenny

Localhost is allowed to print? Try setting the windows boxes up to use IPP instead of samba, you use a URL sommit along the lines of http://the.linux.box:631/printers/cupsprintername as the IPP path, and see what happens. if that prints, then you know its a problem with the way the printer is shared via samba (then, if that works, stick with it, tiz what we use here in the office, seems to work quite well).
Of course, you could map the samba printing share to a particular user that you know has access to it all and see what happens.
Just my set of thoughts off the top of my head (so they are probably incorrect, head still fuzzy from pub last night).

Small consolation, perhaps, but I'm having the same problem (from Windows). I've no clue how to deal with it so I'm cheating; I installed a Tektronix Phaser (minus the actual printer), print to file as a .ps, copy to Linux, open there and print. Or switch the USB cable from one computer to the other. The wonderful world of modern technology.
