Hi,

I have CUPS running, and printing, on another Linux box. CUPS is installed, but
not running, on the local box. On this box, Slackware 15, KDE, I get this far:

https://i.ibb.co/Tt8jxL7/print-settings.png

If I close that window, everything is lost, I have to connect again to the
server. Even with that window still open, from any application, if I try to
print, I get a "No printer available" type of message.

What am I missing? I've seen plenty of CUPS tutorial around, but no one covering
this case.

Thanks for any hint.

Sorry for not responding sooner. I don't read newsgroups as regularly
as I once did, but here goes my (hopefully not too feeble) attempt to
help ...

### /etc/cups/client.conf
ServerName printhost.mydomain.tld/version=1.1

(well, mine has extensive comments in the file as well ...)

See also client.conf(5) ("man client.conf"), and (possibly?)
/usr/doc/cups-${version}/help/man-client.conf.html

I hope that helps ...
