Assuming you are running Linux on your laptop, simply enter the i/p address
of your server into /etc/cups/client.conf - use ServerName 192.168.0.1
or whatever, wait a few seconds and your printer is setup. Just do an
lpstat -t on your laptop and you should see the same output as lpstat -t
on your server. You may need an Allow From 192.168.0.* in cups.conf on
the server (in <Location /> and/or <Location /admin>
Its all well explained in www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html#CLIENT_MANUAL
If you aren't running Linux on your laptop, samba is your friend...
