Hmm so its not a samba printer. What if you go to setup a printer, tell the system it is a network printer, enter the IP then click "Probe". Is the queue found?

According to:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5396340_set-vista-vista-windows-linux.html

Client computer setup procedure for Ubuntu Linux:

(1) System, Administration, Printing.

(2) New printer.

(3) AppSocket/HP JetDirect.

(4) Host: 192.168.1.232 (or whatever number you assigned). Port number: 9100.

(5) Select your printer by make and model, and print a test page.

These instructions probably generalize to other UNIX-like operating systems.
