Printer on thin client network--says it's working but isn't

Hi All,

The server seems to be working great, booting 18 thin clients easily.  The
thin clients run Firefox 3.5 and CmapTools as local apps.  iTALC and Sabayon
working well.  Lots of joy here :)

The issue I'm encountering is I can't get the printers to print on the LAN.
I've googled, explored, googled and explored more.

The cupsd.conf setting are shown below.  In the printing control panel I've
set the Device URI to socket://localhost:631 (and tried typing in
192.168.0.1 in place of localhost, and lpd in place of socket).  It appears
that the printer is working with the message: "processing - printer is now
on-line" nonetheless, nothing prints.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,
David
