“Pick one computer in the 192.168.2.0/24 network to act as your
“relay” server; it will contact the printer server and then relay
its printers to the rest of the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet. Just add
these lines to cupsd.conf:

BrowsePoll 192.168.1.10
BrowseRelay 127.0.0.1 192.168.2.255



# Allow shared printing
Order allow,deny
Allow 192.168.2.0/24
