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?
