But you don't disclose that address, nor do you state if its within your 
local netmask. It must be.

 I have a brother b&w laser, and a brother ink squirter, a big old 
monster capable of doing tabloid paper, and in its menu's I can assign 
it an ipv4 address that is within my local subnet. Other than a tendency 
to use too little ink, its works well. I also have a usb cable plugged 
into it and am not sure which its using as I have it setup both ways in 
cups as separate printers.

Firewalls can also get in the way, but on my local network in the 
192.168.xx block, I am not running anything like a firewall.  Everything 
is at the same xx. I am behind a router running a dd-wrt reflash, and 
that is my insulation from the black hats. No one has come thru it in 
nearly 20 years. Cups as a server runs on this machine, is set to share, 
and all 5 local machines can print to either printer as if it was 
locally attached to that machine.
