    Gottit!! The problem was in the /etc/hosts file. My domain was listed
    correctly, but I commented out the following code for IPv6, which my
    network doesn't support. I'm not sure if that was causing the problem,
    but cups works perfectly now. Thanks for your help.

    # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    #fe00::0 ip6-localnet
    #ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
    #ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    #ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
    #ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
