I created a new printer on hostname1 and also named it Compaq-HP. I

AFAIR the IPP-Adress has to be: "ipp://[Host]/[PrinterName]"
in your case this would mean: "ipp://hostname2.STUDY/Compaq-HP"
I'm afraid I had no success. I tried using the address as you suggested
above but it says unknown host . . . perhaps I should add it in my
hostname file, but my netgear router which acts as the nameserver should
know where to go?
In any case, when I changed it to the IP address of hostname2 box
(192.168.0.3) I got this: ====================================

====================================
Anything else I should try?
Just a shot in the dark. Are you using cups? If so, you may have to
edit the cupsd.conf on the printer host to allow connections to cupsd
from other hosts. There is a whole section in cupsd.conf that deals
with access. Very similar to the apache config file.
Cheers,
