Thank You!
I have follow your advice
and also done other changes.
Now it works.
I don't know which settings, but what has been done is (and I want to be very specific to save all newbies some work.) My own thought is the change in /etc/hosts was the critical part!
Computer A IP: 192.168.0.1
root@tux# ./etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
root@tux# echo 192.168.0.3 pingvinen.example.org pingvinen >>/etc/hosts
Computer B IP :192.168.0.3
root@pingvinen# ./etc/rc.d/rc.hplip start
root@pingvinen# ./etc/rc.d/rc.cups start

ps.
(It seems you don 't need to care about this Unable to locate message, but what you must change is in modify printer from letter to A4 before successfully printing in this session.

And also do not forget to change the print settings in openoffice or what programs you use to print to A4 as well
