As a bit of further info concerning this problem, the SAMEHOST value seems to be evaluated correctly if the job is sent/removed from a machine within the same domain as the print server, e.g.
job sent from host.inf.ed.ac.uk to printserver.inf.ed.ac.uk can be removed from the same machine, but... job sent from host.cogsci.ed.ac.uk to printserver.inf.ed.ac.uk can *not* be removed from the same machine. I can see in the logs for the first example that it correctly compares HOST to REMOTEHOST and therefore doesn't attempt to compare it with with either the IP of the print server or 127.0.0.1: Same_host: comparing [host 'a.inf'] to [host 'a.inf'], result 0 (contrast this with the example below where it doesn't even print out a message for comparing with anything but print server IP and localhost.
