Can't ping printer

In my /etc/hosts I have:

# more /etc/hosts
#
# Sun Host Database
#
# If the NIS is running, this file is only consulted when booting
#
10.113.15.248 hp8-123
10.113.15.248 hp8

---------

But if I try to ping them I get:

# ping hp8-123
no answer from hp8-123
# ping hp8
hp8 is alive
#

Why would this be?
