Trouble with printing to Raspberry Pi over local network

When I use system-config-printer, click Server>Connect, and put in the IP address (192.168.1.69), I can use the printer (Brother HL-2220) remotely... as long as I keep that window up. If I try to set it up using "Add", one of two things happens.

If I use the automatic detection of the printer:

Processing - Unable to locate printer "raspberrypi.local".

Even though I've already enabled Avahi's .local hostname resolution...

And if I try IPP, and using ipp://192.168.1.69/printers/printer-queue for example, choosing Brother > Brother HL2220 for CUPS, and print a test page...

Processing - Use "pdftops-renderer" option (see cups-filters README file) to use Ghostscript or MuPDF for the PDF -> PostScript conversion.

If I can get the printer working temporarily using Server>Connect, how can I get it working permanently?
