Can anyone recommend an easy, accurate guide to setting up shared printers on openSUSE? The article on the wiki is confusing, and google returns a lot of old and conflicting information.

Samba or cups? Linux or Windows?

Cups. Right now I’m trying to connect two machines, both with openSUSE 11.4.

It is straight forward, just open the port 631 (ipp) and … (I forget
which) in the firewall, and tell cups config to listen on some range and
network device.
SDB:CUPS
and SANE Firewall settings

It isn’t clear to me at all. They ramble on with general info on firewall settings, then finally come to an example only to say don’t do it this way.

Just look at the firewall log and you will see what attempts get rejected
and on which port.

Its installation is not difficult because its plug and play with openSUSE. Your Personal computer must be supported with openSUSE. After that Check the printer is it properly connected to the computer and then check the power of the PC. There is no need for installation on openSUSE for printing.
Okay. Do you have advice on the topic of this thread, sharing printers on a network?

You still have problems with it? Should be straightforward. Open this page:
http://localhost:631/admin/
on the client machine, and in the page that opens choose “Internet Printing
Protocol (ipp)”. Click “continue”, use the first example line, replacing
“localhost” with the IP (or name) of the server machine.
If I can I will try this procedure with my laptop later and check it out.

The FW settings are unclear to me. The wiki gives extensive warnings and tells how not to do it, then just touches on the actual configuration.
Hi chief_stealth. I have a shared printer on an OS X machine that I can connect to (via a LAN), with my laptop running openSUSE. I didn’t have to do anything special, except make sure the printer was shared on the host. CUPS picks it up automatically. (I have also done the same previously with 2 Linux machines, without any firewall issues. That’s what I like about CUPS network printing).
Two good guides:

Printer Sharing - Documentation - CUPS

But why don’t simply try to do it?
