Greetings!
The current situation:
- When initiating a print job locally (i. e. on the server), the printer works just fine.
- When printing remotely from Windoze, the printer works the way it should, too.
- When printing from a remote Linux box, the job isn't forwarded. Instead, "[Job X] The printer is not responding." messages show up in /var/log/cups/error_log).
- However, when checking the remote printer queues, they show up just fine within YaST.
I have already modified /etc/hosts.lpd so that print jobs are accepted from any address (listens only on the WLAN adapter and on the loopback device), with cupsd advertising the printers attached to it.
FYI: My /etc/cups/cupsd.conf currently looks like this:
Any idea what could be going awry here? Right now I'm out of options, and Uncle Google didn't dig up any information so far that could help resolve this issue.

# The policy below is added by SUSE during build of our cups package.
# The policy 'allowallforanybody' is totally open and insecure and therefore

# Have in mind that any user who is allowed to do printer admin tasks
# can change the print queues as he likes - e.g. send copies of confidental
