[ILUG] Remote CUPS printing problems

[ILUG] Remote CUPS printing problems

Hello, 

I've got a simple network here with just one PC (debian sarge kernel
version 2.4.26, eth0 connected to ethernet modem via dhcp, eth1 assigned IP
address of 192.168.0.1) and an iBook (Mac OS 10.3.3, ethernet assigned IP
address 192.168.0.2). The iBook can connect to the internet because I have
the ipmasq packege installed on the PC. 

I would like to set up the iBook to print to the PC's printer. I set up my
printer via the KDE printer utility. It prints fine and it uses CUPS, its
ipp address is ipp://192.168.0.1:631/printers/Cannon_Printer 

I have set up my iBook to print to the PC through editing
/etc/cups/printers.conf, also with the command 

lpdadmin -p local_queue -v
ipp://192.168.0.1:631/printers/Cannon_Printer 

Each time i try to print something I am told that I couldn't print. I tried
to print a file with the command lp .bashrc and I got an error: lp: unable
to print file: server-error-not-accepting-jobs 

A look in my PC's /var/log/cups/access_log shows up many lines looking like
this: 
192.168.0.2 - - [14/May/2004:16:42:42 +0100] "POST /ipp HTTP/1.1" 403 0 

At this stage I think that the problem is the PC's. When I type the
command: lpstat -v I get the following output: 

device for Cannon_Printer: parallel:/dev/lp0 

How do I set up CUPS to accept requests from 192.168.0.2 ? 

Any help, pointers etc would be greatly appreciated, cheers
