Hello,
This morning for the first time in ages I used my modem on my computer to
dial in to the internet instead of using my cable modem. When I then tried
to print, the print manager hangs, as do any print dialogs from applications
in KDE (I have not tried printing from the console yet).
After doing some playing with the system, it appears that it's hanging up
trying to communicate with the cups server. If I terminate the dial up
session, all of the hung up dialogs return from their hung state.
The URL for the printer is oddly enough NOT pointing to localhost, it's
pointing to my cable modem assigned URL, ie is
ipp://ny-glensfalls3a-57.bur.adelphia.net:631/printers/Samsung instead of
being ipp://localhost etc. My guess is that when dialed in the host info for
the machine changes?
I added this printer using the Printing Manager. Would it make sense to have
locally connected printers default to localhost?
V.
