[svlug] Remote printing on Xubuntu

Hey all,

I got my printer up and going in 20 seconds on my 
local Xu install here, so I am now trying to get 
the other workstations to print to it.

I created /etc/cups/client.config on the client:

ServerName 192.168.0.7

(as this is the IP of the machine with the printer)

I also have this is cupsd.config on the machine 
with the printer:

# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
   Order allow,deny
   Allow localhost
   Allow From All
</Location>

But it still does not print to the print server 
machine (my workstation).

I pulled up printer config on the client machine
and all it allows now is the 'Goto Server' button,
which is fine since there is no local printer.

However, when I try the Goto Server button, either
with or without 'Require encryption' checked, it
gets this error:

"HttpConnectionEncrypt Failed"

All I can find via Google of that error is one
thread about connection to a Windows machine and a
few more pages not in English.

Sorry for being unilingual! :)

Anyone have any suggestions?
