Probably mine was a resolving issue. I played with /etc/nsswitch.conf to work with a VPN and ended up modifying the hosts row this way:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve dns
(note the missing [!UNAVAIL=return] )
I removed the "resolve" keyword and installed libnss-resolve, fixing the row this way:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns
and now the printer is recognized and works.
