Setup your CUPS server to support browsing. It will allow you laptop to 
discover the printer when on your local network. You may have to set your 
laptop to respect the broadcasted printers as well. It pretty neat. I use 
this feature of CUPS to broadcast printers for Mac OS X users also since CUPS 
is used under the covers on Mac OS X. I don't believe the setup is that 
difficult. The main thing you want to make sure is that the browsing doesn't 
leave your network.
