Default newb is CUPS confused!

My goal is to setup a print server (among other things) using CUPS.
My print server is a P3 running Suse Pro 9.2 fully patched. This
machine is
at run level 3, and I SSH into it and use the character based yast to
make
changes. I've installed the printer driver and test printed from YAST
and
everything seems fine.

My second machine is an Athlon also running a fully patched Suse Pro
9.2,
and runs at runlevel 5 using KDE.

From the second machine, I can run these commands (from page 279 of
the 9.2
Admin Guide)
netcat -u -l -p 631 & PID=$! ; sleep 40 ; kill $PID
netcat -z 192.168.1.197 631 && echo ok || echo failed
lpstat -h 192.168.1.197 -l -t

I think the first machine is not broadcasting CUPS or the second
machine is
not listening, based on the fact that the first command does not give
a
desired response (I am not running these commands at root nor with
root
permissions).


crg@linux:~> netcat -u -l -p 631 & PID=$! ; sleep 40 ; kill $PID

ok

crg@linux:~>

On the first machine (the printserver), yast tells me that ports 515 &
631
are supposed to be open (both UDP and TCP), as well as IPP on TCP.

On the second machine, yast tells me that IPP (UDP) is supposed to be
open.

In yast on the second machine, under printer configuration, it says:"Listen to remote CUPS servers to get comfortable access to remote
queues"
and
"Port for listening to remote CUPS servers is open on
eth-id-00:50:ba:c9:21:b8"
It can also see my network attached Laserjet (my second printer which
is
working fine)
However nothing that I do when I poke around in "Configure...",
"Restart
Detection", "New Queue for already configured printer", or "Other (not

detected", shows me the printer that is directly attached to the
printer
server (the first machine).

BTW, when I run the first netstat command as root, this is what I get:

crg@linux:~> su
Password:
linux:/home/crg # netcat -u -l -p 631 & PID=$! ; sleep 40 ; kill $PID[1] 8228
Can't grab 0.0.0.0:631 with bind
[1]+ Exit 1 netcat -u -l -p 631
bash: kill: (8228) - No such process
linux:/home/crg # exit
exit
crg@linux:~>

and these commands on the second machine didn't fail either:
crg@linux:~> echo -en "\r" | lp -d HPDeskjet692c -h 192.168.1.197
request id is HPDeskjet692c-1 (1 file(s))
crg@linux:~> lpstat -h 192.168.1.197 -o
HPDeskjet692c-1 crg 1024 Sun 27 Mar 2005
07:54:47
AM MST
crg@linux:~> cancel -h 192.168.1.197 HPDeskjet692c-HPDeskjet692c-1
crg@linux:~>

So, what am I missing???
PS. About to head off for the day's activities, I doubt I will have a

chance to read anyone's responses for about 12 hours at the earliest.

Thanks in advance, and have a good day.
PPS. DNS/DHCP is another goal for another day, that's why I'm still
using
IP addresses instead of host names

<< snip >>

probably a related problem: Start\Utilities\Printing\Printing
Manager,
(title bar says Configure = Printing Manager), in this program running
on
the second machine (with KDE), it sees the print queue on the print
server.
However, just clicking on the queue (selecting it) causes the
Printing
Manager to lock up (ie, go to another virtual panel and then come
back,
it's window isn't refreshed, just get a grey window).
