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

Still no luck. While sitting in front of the Jaunty thin client server
(virtually) I can't ping the printer.  However, it appears the printer is
getting an ip from the server.  This doesn't make sense.

Any ideas?  I really need to get this printer working.

Thanks,
David
