Problem

I have Pardus installed 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 "server-PC"

It is highly recommended to give the computer with the printer connected a fixed IP address. Look in this page 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 with [Alt+F2] kdesu kwrite /etc/cups/cupsd.conf + [Run]

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

(see <== marker for change)

Save change and close Kwrite.

Settings on client-PC

Change of /etc/cups/client.conf with [Alt+F2] kdesu kwrite /etc/cups/client.conf + [Run]

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

(see <== marker for change)

Save change and close Kwrite.
