If you have name resolution problems, then you need to solve them.  You
haven't said what didn't resolve, though.  Print server or client?

How are you resolving names?  An /etc/hosts file on each computer, a
local DNS server.

If you're using a local DNS server, and it does have the correct
addresses programmed into it, are you firewalling it?
