Hi Anne,
James is rihgt. If you don't have a decent DNS running within your LAN, you
need to keep the canonical-Name <-> IP-Address translations in the /etc/hosts
files on both systems (Printer-Server and Client).
Also - make sure that Cups allows printing from this IP-Address.
Default it denies it ...
Cheers
Joerg
