[cups.general] Unknown host

Dear Cups General List

I am running SuSE 10 as a dual boot on a workstation. The Workstation is on a 
Novell 4 LAN. The printers I am trying to set up are Canon iR2200-3300 and HP 
ColourLaserJet 2840 printers all other workstations are running windows and 
they run the Printers as direct TCP/IP local printers. There is no printer 
server set up.

At this stage I am just trying to get the HP running as a TCP/IP direct 
Printer.  I have installed using Yast2 and with KDE and tried with CUPS 
browser. The Printers seems to install and test print but there is no output. 
I thought it may be the PPD files but here is my debug file from cups. It 
looks like a problem with the host but I am not sure. I did a search on the 
mail list but there are 10,00 hits on "Unknown host" and the first several 
hundred did not seem too relevant.

Thanks
Raena
