Cups help?

I've got two systems running CUPS and I'm having trouble getting
them to share a printer.

Print server:
  RH7.3, printer is on parallel:/dev/lp0, called HPLJ4M, configured
     as HP LaserJet 4M, Foomatic + Postscript  (because that's what
     it is).  It works fine.
  CUPS: RedHat RPM, v 1.1.14
  NICs:
     eth0) DSL connection
     eth1) internal LAN, 192.168.x.146
  I think I have CUPS listening on both NICs, port 631 (ipp, right?).
     The CUPS log files confirm this.

Print client:
  COL 3.1.1 WS.  I have tried configuring in several ways, most
     recently as ipp://192.168.x.146:631/ipp/HPLJ4M, and notice that
     this URI is changed by replacing "ipp:" with "http:" in the
     admin display, although my input is the default the next time
     through 'modify'.  It is reported as busy...
  CUPS: Caldera RPM, v 1.1.10-3
  NICS:
     eth0) internal LAN, 192.168.x.150

Problem: I cannot find a configuration on the client that seems to
connect to the server.  I see nothing in the logs about attempts,
but I may not know where to look.

The client usually reports "Printer is busy; will retry in 10
seconds".  The printer is idle, and I see no print jobs on the
server.

Anybody with a clue?
