Alternate thread title "more questions about my found-in-dumpster-PII"

I chose 'expert install' when installing 10.1 on this machine. Laugh if you want, my friends would.
Now want to export some files to the printer on another machine that uses CUPS. What packages do I need to install? Currently all print commands return "command not found".

Just CUPS on the client machine.
The print server need to have the CUPS config setup to listen to the IPP port 631 and allow network machines to connect.

Thanks davidsrsb. Have installed cups on the client. Now I'm having some problems working out the final details. Probably overlooking something simple.

$ lpstat -t (on client) returns
scheduler is running
no system default destination
device for i470D: ipp://foobar:631/printers/i470D
i470D accepting requests since Jan 01:00
printer i470D is idle. enabled since Jan 01:00

$ lpstat -t (on server)
scheduler is running
system default destination: i470D
device for i470D: usb:/dev/usb/lp0
i470D accepting requests etc,etc

$ lpr test.txt (on client)
lpr: error -schedular not responding

in cupsd.conf
Location/
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from @LOCAL
Allow from 192.168.0.1

Listen *:631

Requests from the client show up in the servers access logs but nothing shows up in the print que. The firewall is off. foobar is the client at 192.168.0.1
Any help much appreciated.

Your CUPS client is not picking up the CUPS server on your foobar box.

Your CUPS server should be configured to allow clients to see the server and connect to it - add the line
to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf on the server.

To make sure that the client sees the server, you could also opt for setting the ServerName
to the hostname of your CUPS server, in your client's /etc/cups/client.conf file.

Thanks Eric
Added the BrowseAllow and I believe that was part of the solution. Still no go. After much more messing around the final solution was adding the client user name to /etc/cups/printers.conf on the server side. I think this might be a Mepis thing, as that file looks different in Slack. And yeah, just realized I didn't mention the server was running Mepis.

Thanks again to david as well.
