In my case, I needed to get rid of my ServerName setting in my client.conf file, and then open up access from my local network instead of staying restricted to localhost.
Thanks to @bnjmnrsr for starting me down the right path. In my case, lpstat reported:
$ lpstat -s
no system default destination
lpstat: Bad file descriptor
lpstat: Bad file descriptor
This led me to this post, in which the OP was kind enough to post his solution:
[The] problem was the following:
in /etc/cups/client.conf
it is possible to manually specify a server with the syntax
ServerName hostname-or-ip:port
This is the method I used in the past for workstations on a small network connected to a predetermined print server
However, that does not seem to work anymore. Not unless the CUPS_SERVER environment variable is manually set to the same hostname.
Solution consisted in removing the manually set hostname and restoring cups default
ServerName /var/run/cups/cups.sock
In my case, I simply commented-out the ServerName in my client.conf file and restarted CUPS on the client:
$ service cups restart
When I ran lpstat again, I got a better message:
$ lpstat -s
no system default destination
lpstat: No destinations added.
lpstat: No destinations added.
Next, I ended up here to see how to configure CUPS to listen on an external IP address. I'm not sure if the entire configuration is necessary, but at the very least I observed my CUPS server was only listening to localhost:
$ netstat -an | grep 631
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
In my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file, I had to change the Listen directive from:
Listen localhost:631
to:
Listen <dnsnameofyourserver>:631
Once I restarted cups and cups-browsed on the server and the client, my lpstat on the client worked better. (I don't know if I needed to restart all four, but I did so anyway.)
$ lpstat -a
