cups networking problem

I have YDL3.0 running on a box (192.168.0.15) with a Lexmark E312 USB 
printer connected. I used the redhat config gui to create the 
printer, and it prints fine locally. Somehow, the networking info was 
automagically entered (I didn't do it, to my knowledge). From 
/etc/cupsd.conf:

#
# End of "$Id: cupsd.conf.in,v 1.8 2002/12/13 16:23:54 mike Exp $".
#

 From an iBook running OSX, I can see the Lexmark over the network, 
but when I try to print to it, the printing looks like it starts but 
never happens. When I look at the print job in OSX, I see the message 
"Unable to connect to IPP host: Undefined error: 0" and the job 
cannot be deleted, and the job persists in this state across reboot 
of the ibook. Somehow the job disappears after about 15 min. So, this 
is a little OT because it looks like I'm dealing with stupid OSX 
bugs, but am I missing any steps on the Linux box to make this work?
