This makes me wonder, is it possible to print to a printer attached in clie=
nt1=20
from client2? Or should I attach 1 printer on each client?
Thanks.

Of course it can print to printer attached in another client. i just
wondering about your LX300 printer, you sure the printer still work
fine?

--snip (your lts.conf)
[00:19:66:16:23:93] <-- the mac address of client1
  PRINTER_0_TYPE=P
  PRINTER_0_DEVICE=/dev/lp0
--snip

usually the client should open port 9100 as jetdirect service, you can
check it using nmap if the client open that port or not.

or you can try to change mac address in lts.conf section (in this case
[00:19:66:16:23:93] )
to a hostname or ip address. hope it can help..

Thanks.
