I bet you have cups-browsed installed on the server. It's completely
unneeded and doesn't do anything to enhance the printing system there.
But that is BTW. :)

The printer is found at TheLibrarian.local and its resource path is
printers/CP1215, giving a URI of
ipp://TheLibrarian.local:631/printers/CP1215
At present you are relying on cups-browsed on the client to discover,
auto-setup and manage the CP1215; it appears to be having an off day.
Let's manage the print queue ourselves. Execute
lpadmin -p <PRINT_Q_NAME> -v <URI> -E -m raw
The -p option can be anything you want, for example, cp1215.
