I have a working HP Photosmart C4200 series printer connected by USB to

gives seems to work.

The way this should work is that CUPS browsing makes the queue available to the upstairs computer. Use tcpdump/wireshark on the upstairs machine to find out if UDP port 631 packets are being seen. If so, the problem is most likely

* the firewall on the upstairs machine (which needs to allow incoming UDP port 631), or

* the CUPS sharing settings on the upstairs machine (which should enable 'Show printers shared by other systems' -- this is the default).

If you've tried both of these things, use the printing troubleshooter on the upstairs computer to try to discover the problem.
