Network Printer

I'm having trouble setting up ubuntu 4.10 to utilize my network
printer, an HP4200.  I can access it from both of my Fedora boxes and
I've tried using the same config peramters in ubuntu's printer
configuration tool.
I set it up as a Unix printer (just as my fedora conifg has) and added
the appropriate ip address.
The difference between fedora and ubuntu is where the addresses are
placed.  Fedora has "Server" and "Queue".  I entered xx.xx.xx.xx for
both lines.  In ubuntu I have "Host" and "Queue" and added the same ip
address for both.  might this be where my mistake is.  Should
something else go in for "Host"??
The test page fails to print.
Thanks for your time.......... 
Mike
