Supplemental:  After finding a Fedora 9 PC that didn't find the printer
server, I had a bit of a poke around, comparing it with another that
did.  On the one that worked, I missed seeing something I'd previously
set on the firewall - I'd "trusted" the ethernet interface, so it'd
allow communication with the rest of the LAN.  And on the one that
wasn't working, it started working when I allowed IPP through it's
firewall.

The point:  Carefully check the firewalling on both the clients and the
servers.
