Please help jog my memory for diagnosing printer connectivity?

Gentlemen;
For the past six months I have been a full time Ubuntu user at work and on
the road. My home desktop is running Suse 10.1. On it I have Turboprint
installed to drive my metwork printer (a Brother HL5250DN).
My Suse machine has an IP obtained via DHCP of 192.168.1.103 and the printer
is 192.168.1.109. When I run netstat -rn I see my default gateway of
192.168.1.1 which is what it should be.
However, my desktop cannot find this printer. Ping states it cannot read
the address and the spool attempts claim it also unreachable.
But, other systems on the same subnet (running Windoze) print to it just
fine using the same address.
I'm reasonably familiar with Linux and diagnosing printers and connectivity
but this has me stumped. That's why I am guessing its a config issue with
my 10.1 install.
Can anyone provide some basic printer Ip connectivity steps to help me
verify that I am at least approaching this correctly?
Thanks a million.
