OK, I've had partial success. As it turns out (after a four hour power 
outage due to some heavy storms in the area), the <Location /> was set 
to Deny all and then Allow all, in that order. After I'd changed that, I 
was able to print from one computer to the print server, but only using 
the kde-print manager, as was suggested.
However, as said, I don't use kde, and I don't want to depend on that. 
There has to be a way to just foomatic my way to the other computer. But 
alas, I haven't found one yet. How would I set up the "-c" part of the 
foomatic statement? lpd? http? ipp? Now that I know my printserver is 
reachable, I know it can be done, just not exactly how...
