Tried both ways in the Wiki, still can't get network printing work

Hi,

I have tried both the client and server ways following the Wiki, still could not get network printing work.

For the first way, I tried to put either the host name or the ip address (starting with 192) of the remote printer into /etc/cups/client.conf. But both Okular and Evince failed to see the printer in the dialog.

For the second way, with cups-browsed running, it only managed to discover printers in my local network (ip starting with 137) which I have no access. I tried to manually add the printer using its ip, but it still did not work.

What can I do? I have spent hours trying to work it out but failed. I would appreciate a lot your help. Thanks.
