Trouble with CUPS printing in home network

Linksys router: DHCP server in router disabled
Connected to router: 2 PCs and 1 HP ink jet printer plugged into router
HP Printer: Network settings: IP address set static to 192.168.1.105

I can ping the printer. But for some reason, either the print jobs
aren't getting to the printer, or possibly the ethernet portion of the
printer is broken.

Shows in CUPS web interface:

"Unable to locate printer 'printer' - Unknown host"
Device URI: socket://printer:9100

Suggestions?

Error log after sending a print job shows:
