Your hosts file is declaring hosename.mydomain.com (typo ?) to be a
local which is not available remotely. Cups attempts to use the name
the world knows your machine by. Set hostname.mydomain.com to the
correct IP in /etc/hosts and restart cups.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
w.x.y.z hostname.mydomain.com hostname
