Thanks, Ian, I certainly does mix them. Decided to hvae my linux box
(Daedalus) be a print server for the Mac laptop. But I find that the
guideline to set linux up as a print server makes no sense. That is
ends with cross your fingers and hope is not very ecouraging.

For example, I'm told to modify /etc/cups/cupsd.conf by changing
the Listen line to " Listen *:49631". Or should that line be added?
It says further he print location section should look like this:

  <Location /printers>
         Order allow,deny
           Allow 192.168.0.*
           Allow 192.168.1.*
   </Location>


I have no such Line or section in my cupsd.conf.

Apparently making these chages will make the linux box into a print
server wheb CUPS is restarted.
