Re: cups network printer for client

Bob and Steven - thanks both for so much for prompt responses and comments.
I hadn't chosen the 'shared' option in cups on the server and choosing that

Just need to actually get into the room with the printer and check it's

I must say that the support from this forum is second to none!
