Which is fine for the pixma backend, it will find it as long as you are
on the same subnet.Everything will work as long as DNS does return
somethig sensible for the reverse and forward lookups (or you defined
the IP-address in /etc/hosts).
(something sensible is return a hostname or a NXDOMAIN, it looks as if
your DNS doesn't do that)

Check for "old" backends in the sane libdir
(normally /usr/lib[64]/saneand in dll.conf if you compiled for the
standard locations on Linux
