Debian – Printer added to cups, but can’t see it on the printing dialog

cupsdebianlaser-printernetwork-printerprint-server

I have a Debian server and a Debian laptop, and I'm trying to use a cups server to print pages from all my home computers.

So I added the printer to the server's cups successfully with the correct drivers, and after that I added the printer to my laptop's cups. However, when I ask to print, I don't see my printer in the print dialog in the system.

The screen shot is from the "Manage Printers" page of cups, where you see a shared printer and an added printer from the shared printer. While yet I can't see those printers in the print dialog.

Why is this happening?

Thank you for any efforts.

I got the problem fixed. The problem was that I had also my work network defined in ~/.cups/client.conf, and this made the lpstat -s freeze, and that made me realize that the system wasn't able to read the printers because of this. Thanks to @bnjmnrsr for the help :)
