Ignore previous blank post...dropped something on the mouse.

I don't know.  It may be that Nautilus ignores those.  Have you checked
your printer browser?  They may show up there rather than the normal
browser (redhat-icon->System Settings->Printing").  It may also be that
you aren't in the same workgroup as those machines.  I don't know.
