[ale] anybody know how to setup network printing under Suse 9.0 ?

[Dow Hurst]

Under SuSE 9.x CUPS is shipped in a much more secure mode.  If your 
FreeBSD box is wide open for printing via CUPS or port 9100 or lpr 
remote printing with no restrictions then it is the client side that is 
choking.  In the CUPS server file you'll have to disable some of the 
restrictions.  I don't remember the CUPs conf file syntax off the top of 
my head but I know you shouldn't have any problems running as client 
only when using Yast2 to configure the printer.  If the client only 
option is failing (you aren't running a CUPs server only sending CUPs 
requests to the FreeBSD box) then it is the BSD box that is refusing 
your request.

So use client mode first and look at your BSD box logs.  I agree with 
Geof on using Yast2 first.  I'd say that you should run a CUPs server on 
the BSD box and have client only mode on the clients.
