[TriLUG] Inter-species printing problem

[Jason Tower]

if you're allowing all outbound connections you shouldn't have to change 
anything.  if you want to permit inbound connections (like for outside 
machines to print to a local printer) then you'll need to change the iptables 
rules.  also, note that cups has a config file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf that 
needs to be modified if you want it to work with outside connections or other 
cups servers.  by default it is locked down pretty tight.
