Put in http://spirit.rdlg.net/printers/HP-DJ882c
if you get a denied type message then you are not allowed access on
spirit. CUPs operates like Apache so in your cupsd.conf near the end of
the file is the section for security of the queues. Add an Allow From
vampire.rdlg.net line just as you would allow access to a directory or
website in the httpd.conf file. That should clear things up.
I'll post you this evening my cupsd.conf file for you that sets up the
two machines at home just like you want yours to be.
