Try run nmap against the printer to see which ports are 
available:

nmap $ip

where $ip is the IP address of your printer.  You will probably 
need to install nmap first (`aptitude install nmap`).  It will 
tell if you there is any connectivity issues.  lpd is port 515, 
ipp is 631 etc (see /etc/services).
