Hi, Stefan. I thought you had lost interest in this bug because I haven't heard anything for several months. I still have all my notes, but couldn't get further without help. Here is the current situation as far as I see it... 1. The latest Intrepid kernel really does have the TCP/IP fix that resolves my original problem. 2. The latest Hardy kernel is probably still broken - I have followed your kernel fixes (especially TCP/IP) and haven't spotted anything that looked relevant. However, I haven't run a test to confirm my beliefs because.... 3. The bypass I reported with the bug definitely works with the latest Hardy kernel, so my Hardy systems (I still have a couple) run fine with my printer. 4. Menno's problem does not sound like mine - if a print job was big enough to stall, then it would never complete. Even a reboot would leave the job queued and printing would hang again. Besides, he is using the latest Intrepid kernel, where the bug is fixed (point 1 above). I think Menno should open a new bug report - perhaps stating that it is definitely NOT a duplicate of 213081. I'm not sure what to do about 213081. It is fixed in Intrepid, but it was reported against Hardy which is an LTS release with another year or so of life. I think the circumvention is fine - do you have a bug status something like "bypass available"? I agree with Leann's original thought that we shouldn't waste a lot of time back-porting the Intrepid fix. I was prepared to research the code differences, but I couldn't get the tools to work and Leann didn't reply to my questions. If you think it is important enough to help me get started, then I'll give it another try.
