I have ServerName <servername> in client.conf in the client PC.
The client is 192.168.1.2 and server is 192.168.1.1 both running cups at port 631 and can even browse the cups config of the server from the client (although I can't administer...that's turned off).
However the client cant detect the CUPS network printer.
The printer is a virtual cups pdf printer.

user is a spambot and has been reported 
Does it work if you specify the server by hand in etc/cups/client.conf ?
and have you tried broadcasting to 192.168.1.* to see if it makes a difference?

Yes, I have specified that I guess -
| Quote: | | ServerName <servername> |
But that's not working.
Broadcast?... How do I broadcast?

just to be sure. You have this in your client.conf?
| Code: |
ServerName 192.168.1.1

I had that. Then I changed it to the server name, but none of them worked.

The client is Ubuntu, maybe the problem is that?

Try adding the following lines:
| Code: |
BrowseAddress @LOCAL
BrowseLocalProtocols cups dnssd
BrowseRemoteProtocols cups dnssd
|
Remove "dnssd" if you don't have the "avahi" USE flag set on cups. Restart the cups server afterwards.
Also make sure you are allowing port 631 in and out (and port 5353 if using avahi) of your firewall. |

That did the trick. 'all' will be the most compatible I guess.
Thanks. Now there're new issues.
