Hi, I had the same problem with printing on clients. The first thing you
need to check is if your network card is server grade and if the cups user
is enabled ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PrintingCupsWebInterface).
Check the logs for any error. Usually from what I read if your motherboard
has 2 embedded NICs (especially nvidia chipset) you get errors like this eth1:
too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq. If you get that then change the NIC
and try it should solve it. That solved it for me, I hope it helps
