I have a RHEL6 instance and I want to share the printer attached to Computer A with Computer B...

Is RHEL able to do this?

Hello,

I know CUPS can. If you have CUPS running in computer A and have configured the printer there as local printer, then just share it within CUPS. Next on computer B have CUPS look for network printers; the printer will be added almost automatically if in the same network. Or am I misunderstanding your question?

Kind regards,

Eric

Thanks Eric. Everything worked out as you said.. I just had the additional problem of IPtables to deal with.

Hi,

Aha, the good old security issue. Glad you got it working.

Kind regards,
