Greg, I had hplip installed, and when I tried the setup command the 
system replied that I needed to install hplip-gui. So I did that, and it 
puts me through the same process as the system-config-printer and cups 
localhost:631 interface. It's just not seeing the printer on the remote 
machine.

I've also checked the remote machine and router firewalls to be sure 
that they allow connection. I'm just lost on this one.

Thanks for your suggestion.
