Print server setup
I have two FC2 installs. I want to make the one PC a printer server.
I can print from one printer to my HP612C no problem. But, when I try to
connect the other printer, it can not find the printer. I am using CUPS as
my print protocol.
Any suggestions?

Share (IPP) the cups printer on the system that has the HP612C attached.
Since the printer has a parallel port you might want to use a small
print server like the Dlink DP-311 (wireless) or DP-301+ (ethernet)
devices and use networked jetdirect or unix print queue, this way you
should be able to print from ether system regardless of the other
system being turned on or off and save a lot of power.

You could also setup this printer to be shared via samba as well. Plenty
of information is available on google for this kind of setup.
