The file /etc/exports is for NFS, and has nothing to do with printing.

I'm pretty sure you're going to need to put that IP address in your /etc/hosts
file, and give it a hostname as well. Even if you can get away with it, you
should give it a hostname.

Get rid of /etc/hosts.equiv, as it is an incredible security hole, and really
shouldn't be used unless you know what you are doing. Use /etc/hosts.lpd
instead, which simply takes the remote hostname one per line.
