[RULE] Printserver on top of Slinky 0.3.97

[Ingo Lantschner]

Hi all,
I tried to use a Slinky-installed RedHat 9 as a printserver for my local 
Network. I had some small problems, whoch are NOT specific to 
Slinky-systems. The Solution may be interesting for others also:

Installing a Printserver:
There is nothing to do, since CUPS announces all printers to all 
workstations on the LAN. In reality there are at least two bugs which must 
be solved so that cups works like it should do. The follwing must be done 
on the printserver only, inside of the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf:

1. Only if you have a printserver with two network interfaces (f.e. eth0 
and ppp0):
Check for
BrowseAddress @LOCAL

2. If you have installed the printer with redhat-config-printer be aware, 
that this produces a wrong cupsd.conf. The listening to the 
networkinterface is not enabled. You have to add
Listen 192.168.0.100:631 where 192.168.0.100 is the address of your 
printserver.
