Is the following a valid URI?

lpd://p733/PSC_1600_series

I know p733 is the hostname of computer1 because I can do a successful 
'ping p733'. I assume that the 'queue' (on computer1) is PSC_1600_series 
because of the following:

[root at p733 chris]# lpq -PPSC_1600_series
PSC_1600_series is ready
no entries

However, when I create a 'printer' (on computer2) to print to that 
printer I get "Network host 'p733' is busy, down or unreachable; will 
retry in 30 seconds..." when trying to do a Print Test Page.

Do I have to configure permissions or something in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf? 
Of course that still begs the question, Why can I print successfully 
from the existing 'printer' (from computer2 to computer1) but can't 
create /another/ 'printer' to do the same thing?
