Both of these provide web (HTTP) interfaces, so you really should be
checking them with the standard http test.

I.e. for your print server, you'd use something like

  10.0.0.1 print.foo.com # http://print.foo.com:631/printers

This puts the status in an "http" column which may seem a bit odd. 
If you want it to show up in a "cupsd" column, you'll have to make it an
http "content" check, like

  10.0.0.1 print.foo.com # cont=cupsd;http://print.foo.com:631/printers;.


For Tomcat, just use a plain http test:

  10.0.0.1 tomcat.foo.com # http://tomcat.foo.com:8080/
