My home network is very simple
cable modem --> linksys wet54g
The 4 wired ports are connected to
1. ss: The officejet with the "problem"
2. lj: An irrelevant laserjet
3. allan: The desktop. Can print and scan (amd64)
4. ajglap: Main laptop. Can print, but not scan (~amd64)
Wireless connections from the linksys to various devices including
oldlap: backup laptop (~amd64)
Yesterday I removed all printers from oldlap and reinstalled the
officejet via hp-setup. It could neither print nor scan
Today I removed all printers from oldlap and reinstalled the officejet
via CUPS. It can print, but xsane reports no devices available.
Both days oldlap can ping the officejet using URL: 192.168.1.50
