On our LAN we have our printer hooked up to catherine.espersunited.com at 192.168.1.3. I set this up about a month ago, following the Gentoo Printing Guide. For awhile it worked, but now it doesn't. When I try to print something remotely from one of the other computers on the network, everything seems to go smoothly, but nothing actually prints. When I try to print something locally in seamonkey or firefox, the browser freezes up when I ask for the print dialog. konquerer gave me a hint that the CUPS server wasn't responding, but it does seem to be running and there doesn't seem to be anything conspicuous in /var/log/cups/error_log. In fact, what is there doesn't seem to belong there. Here's some information:
