Problem

I have Pardus instaleld on a PC, and my Canon PIXMA printer is connected to it by means of USB.

The PC is connected to an ADSL router.

Also connected to the ADSL router but then wireless is my Pardus laptop.

I have a simple question but tried lots of features in Tasma/KDE Print but I can not manage to solve it.

How can I print from my Pardus laptop to the printer that is connected to my Pardus PC?

Manual how to solve this problem

The computer with the printer connected is called the "server-PC" and all other computers in the network are called "client-PC".

Ip address of the computer with the printer connected

Before continuing it is highly recommended to give the computer with the printer connected a fixed IP address. Look in http://en.pardus-wiki.org/HOWTO:_Setup_a_fixed_IP_address_for_your_computer how to do this.

Settings on server-PC

Change settings of firewall:

Open Tasma > Internet &Network > Firewall Config

  Advanced > +
     Incoming
     Port Range = 631
     Accept
  OK > Apply > Back

Close Tasma

Change of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (see <== marker)

# Administrator user group...
SystemGroup pnpadmin
Port 631    <== add this line
.
.
# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
.
.
# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
  Order allow,deny
  Allow @LOCAL    <== add this line
</Location>

Settings on client-PC

Add (as root) the following two lines to the file /etc/cups/client.conf:

ServerName localhost
ServerName IP.address.of.server-PC    <== example ServerName 192.168.0.205

Add printer in Printer Configuration:

[System Settings] > [Printer Configuration] > [New Printer] > [New Network Printer] > {Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)}
  and fill-in at Host: {IP.address.of.server-PC}    <== example 192.168.0.100
  select [Find Queue...] and select the printer > [OK] > [Verify...]
Select manufacturer [> Forward] select {Models} and {Driver}
[> Forward] > Enter {Printer Name} {Description} {Location} [OK]
