JimFL notes that an “upgrade” to Panther removes a perfectly good printing setup . . . .
Sounds familiar[1]. But it can be fixed[2].
One annoyance is that you can’t really see how an existing printer is configured: the closest I have been able to find is to look at /etc/cups/printers.conf.

lpstat -v is OK for checking your work, as well.
Setting up the print queue at the other end is whole ‘nother matter . . . .
My annoyance over sleep, wireless networking, and Rendezvous service detection not playing well together hasn’t been resolved. That’s why the ipp queue turned out to be the way to go for me.
