I also see this in /var/log/cups/error_log of the client:

E [18/Aug/2009:19:06:36 -0500] PID 22217 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp) stopped with status 4!
E [18/Aug/2009:19:06:36 -0500] [Job 28] Unable to locate printer 'kolob.local'!

So it seems the client seems to be adding ".local" to the address of the
server, which of course cannot be found.  Thanks for any input.
