It appears that you are trying to print to an LPD printer on a windows machine, hence the error Network host '192.168.1.5' is busy, down, or unreachable; will retry in 30 seconds...
That's a network error--your connection endpoint isn 't available. In order to print to windoze using lpd, you must * install 'print services for unix' from the windoze control panel>add windoze components (or something similar) * manually start the above service. If you are the admin of the windoze box, you can set the service to start automagically at boot, which is what you probably want.
LPD, or 'printer' runs on port 515--it's a 'well known port'. See<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/services. You can test connectivity by telnetting to that box/port.
Your device URI should be: lpd://fqdn/windows_share_name If you don't have working name resolution on your network, you will have to specify the IP of the print server.
