Alexander,

When I attemped to access "http://192.168.0.2:631/printers/deskjet-5550-2" in 
firefox, I got an error message saying that the connection was refused.

I ran the "lpstat -h 192.168.0.2 -l -v" command on the client and got the same 
'connection was refused' message.

Ran the 'lpstat -l -v' command on the server and got:
device for deskjet-5550-2:  usb:/dev/usb/lp0

I haven't tried the ipp or http settings you previously mentioned but it would 
appear to me that the client is having the trouble, not necessarily the 
server.  Is that correct?
