Try
netstat -plant | grep cups
(as root) on the Etch system to see which connections cupsd is actually
listening to.
Run
tcpdump -i eth0 -n -p host 192.168.2.105
on the Lenny box, then try to print the test page again; this should
show you which connections the Lenny system tries to make to the Etch
system and where things hang. (Replace "eth0" if you use another
interface for your internal network.)
Check your cups configuration, i.e. the DeviceURI given in printers.conf
on the Lenny box and the "shared" status of the printer on the Etch
system.
