[K12OSN]Centos+USB+local printer... and sharing it

I'm not having very good luck explaining... and of course PCE was 
supposed to be PXE below...

As per Lewis' post on Centos + USB earlier?

Make sure
host 192.168.0.100
  returns pc100.foo.bar.com

host pc100.foo.bar.com
  returns 192.168.0.100

Mine does not have lookup (although I though using an IP address in CUPS 
might still work. I can ping ws099 and get lookup:

PING ws099.ltsp (192.168.0.99) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ws099.ltsp (192.168.0.99): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.111 ms

However I do not get lookup either way with host:

host ws099
Host ws099 not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
host 192.168.0.99
Host 99.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Nmap shows port 9100 open:
Starting Nmap 4.20 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2008-06-12 23:16 CDT
Interesting ports on ws099.ltsp (192.168.0.99):
Not shown: 1695 closed ports
PORT     STATE SERVICE
6000/tcp open  X11
9100/tcp open  jetdirect

Do I have something wrong with DHCP?
thx,
Scott S.
