Unable to resolve printer's host name

Hi, I have a problem resolving a hostname, even though I can discover it.

Using CUPS, I was trying to install a network printer with the following hostname lpd://VP_PRINTER/BINARY_P1 which was discovered by CUPS.

I am able to install it, I am however unable to contact the printer, which most likely is due to my inability to resolve VP_PRINTER. Now the question is, how do I do that? In OSX/Windows, this seems native. How can I fix this?

Thanks!

If you haven't already, try using Avahi for name resolution of local devices :
