Remote printing in cups



Migrating from lpr to cups, and can't get past square 1.

Have read reams of docs
Downloaded latest bits off of sourceforge.
Gotten ppd for the remote printer.

My setup is this:

 -----------        --------------------        -------------------------
| Debian wS |  ->  | HP-UX Print Server |  ->  / Networked HP LasterJet /
 -----------        --------------------        -------------------------

The GUI gnome-cups-add and gnome-cups-manager don't seem to be unable to set
up remote printing via a remote print server.

Tried direct with lpadmin, however every command fails with can't 
communicate with server I supply after the -h option.

Anybody else done this?

Firm frowns on connecting directly to the network printers, therefore need
to go through print server?

System - Debian 3.1
Kernel - 2.6.12.2
