OK I have avahi-daemon running on both client and server - and have just opened up port 5353 on both machines (mdns)
avahi-browse --all now sees the printer and opening a browser on localhost:631 and asking to find new printers now sees the cups shared printer and I can now complete a set of menu options and it has set it up nicely. Now the printer is seen on print options - so this is a great success.
I think the main key item was opening port 5353 on the firewall....
Thank you for your help.
Actually I am not quite there - the printer appears set up but when I tried printing to it nothing came through on the printer! A little more investigation needed now.... -- mike c
