I've never had a DNS server on my LAN. My file server is an Infrant
ReadyNAS NV+, and the name 'abussos' is configured only on that machine.

When I've set it up previously, I've had to specify the complete URL myself,:
ipp://192.168.1.201:631/printers/Stylus_Photo

...so, of course, I specify the server by its static IP address, and
there's no problem.

With Gutsy, of course, the process of finding available printers is more
automated. The NV+ supports Bonjour - is that what's being used to
discover which printers are available? In that case it sounds like maybe
a problem with the NV+, supplying its hostname rather than its IP
address, making the assumption that there's a separate server on the
network that can tie the two together.
