The following worked for me:

We are using a Gentoo fileserver.
I connect my eeePC to our network via wireless.

Our network has both linux and other OS boxes connected,
and use both wired and wireless connections.
We have a HP laserjet1020 attached to our fileserver
which we use to print from all computers in the house.

On the eeePC, I go:

Settings        (tab)
Printers        (icon)
Add             (button)
Network printer (radio button)
Next            (button)
Network type:   Other (radio button)
in Name:        whatever name I want
Connection:     Internet Printing Protocol (http)
Path:           http://fileserver:631/printers/Laserjet

fileserver - this is the name of our fileserver, really!
631 - printer port ( CUPS? )
printers - this is the name of sharable directory (really!) that has our 
printer as seen from wi....s
Laserjet - this is the name of the printer ( we're objective - not very 
creative )

Under set printer model, I used:

Manufacturer: HP
Model:        Laserjet 1020
Driver:       Foomatic + foo2zjs (recommended)

....and then print a test page.

I hope this works for you,
As for the ASUS eeePC, the kids haven't pried it off my lifeless fingers yet :-D

Cheers,
Edwin, Sr.

My daughter has an Eee PC. Trying to get the two to communicate over the
network is proving to be an issue. There is a very limited range of HP
Printers in the Xandros distro, and remote CUPS support is minimal to
say the least.

Anyone had experience with setting up said situation under Xandros? I
could always blow away all the Xandros printer stuff and put in
honest-to-goodness Debian, but if it goes wrong crucifixion by daughter
may result. She's become attached to "Eep".
