network printing

[Chris Aitken]

I'm trying to print across the network from a fedora 7 machine to an 
ubuntu 7.10 machine (printer is attached to that one). I thought I knew 
all the gotchas as I've done this so many times.

Both machines are on the Internet, I can scp files between them, they 
can ping each other, both have openssh-server installed, I changed the 
line (/etc/cups/cupsd.conf) from 'Allow localhost' to 'Allow From All' 
(see excerpt below). What else can I try? The print server (do I 
automaticaly call it a print server because the printer is physically 
attached to it and the other computers print to it across the network?) 
prints to the printer okay.
