Re: cups network printer for client

Did you enable print queue sharing on the server? I'm using Debian 9 with XFCE and I have to do the following: 

Enable Print Queue Sharing 

    * On server browse to localhost:631 
        * Administration Tab 
            * Share printers connected to this system: CHECKED 
            * Enter root password when prompted 
    * Restart cups. It likely hung from the previous step: 
systemctl restart cups 

I usually rebuild the image after making the change.
