OK, a few questions:

1) I assume in the subnetmask you've quoted, 155 should read 255??

2) What distro/version are you using? (Reason for asking: I initially
had major problems printing from Redhat 7.2.)

3) How did you set up the printer (manually, or using a GUI tool)? 

4) I assume you've tried the standard stuff of restarting lpd, and using
lpc to stop and start the printer?
