This is probably an obvious question, but *is* the queue enabled on the remote
computer (it probably is, since you can print from these other computers).

Does anyone know if there's a separate printer entry for printing across the
network or if there's a configuration file somewhere that deals with access
control for printers?

One final thought (one of my usual...): could a firewall be blocking
communication between the client and the print server, leading the client to
think the queue was offline?
