Curious Problem Adding a Network Printer

Folks,

I have two systems with each having an attached printer. Both work fine on the 
system to which they are physically attached.

Here is an brief layout:

	polar 				ursa
	HP C3180 (works)		Dell 1110 (works)
	????				network HP C3180 (works)

Here is a description of the problem:

I am unable to configure a network from polar to ursa(Dell 1110). Using the 
printer configuration tool under System->Administration->Printing It fails and 
is created as a local printer, which is totally unusable.

Does the fact that I have two entries for Printing in the drop down list have 
anything to do with it? If so, how do I get rid of one of them they appear bring 
up different tools. One is named "Printer configuration - localhost" and the 
other is "Printers".

Regards,
Jay
