silly question, but...any firewalling on the host?
or client for that matter?

What I see is:
I assume the printer is connected to the server--- but the server
only
allows connections from localhost (itself), and 192.168.0.2.
Yes on all counts.
If 192.168.0.2 is not the network IP address of the client (host 1),
then the connection is denied.
192.168.0.2 is the LAN address of the client (host 1).
If the printer is connected to host 1... well, that only allows
connections from localhost (itself). Connections from everywhere else
are refused.
The printer is physically connected to host 2 which acts as the server
with IP address 102.168.0.3
So what I would suggest is that the server allow connections from the
network as a whole, or the specific network IPs of the
various networked
clients.

So if you have more than one machine on the network, you
might consider
changing the "Allow From" statements to read something like
Allow From 192.168.0.*
Each machine has only one NIC which connects them to the
router/LAN/Internet. The router (netgear ADSL thingy) is 192.168.0.1
and acts both as the Internet gateway and the DNS for the machines on
the LAN. I would rather allow access to explicit IP addresses, in
this
case 192.168.0.2 which is the client.
Thanks for the heads up on the "HostNameLookups On". I'll try it
tonight - although setting the IP address would remove one more thing
for me to get wrong. ;-)
