Printer Problems...

I have a Kyocera FS-1750 printer at my network. It prints fine from a Windows machine but not from an iMac G5 that is connected at the network. The funny thing is that CUPS (located at http://127.0.0.1:631 from safari) prints a test page at the printer but every other application at Mac OS X doesn't... When I press the print button nothing happens and the print dialog remains still.

Anyone knows what this might be?
 
Yes I added the printer using IPP. Macos finds the printer driver automatically. It's called FS-1750 (KLDP-2) or something like that I don't remember exactly. I mean how come CUPS can print a test page and all other apps can't? Strange things...
 
Well I saw the error logs from the system profiler and this is what I got:
Code:

from what I see it logs this: get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/_192_168_0_111' no good! meaning it can't add the printer? Anyone please?
 
Does this printer have a print server or a network card from Kyocera?
Do you know for sure it supports IPP (=Internet Printing Protocol, not IP printing)? IPP came out in 1999 - nothing made before 2000 should be expected to support it.
On-board cards frequently require setup (in LPD) to include entering a queue name that indicates what type of data is coming in, like PS (postscript) or AUTO (automatically select). Is that what your printer/print server requires?
