I have found the problem: CUPS 1.4.1 broadcasts the local print queues with host names and not with IP addresses and it also looks up the host names of clients which try to access and then manages the clients with the host names. This works perfectly well in networks where every computer has a well-defined host name. Many routers to not assure this without requiring manual configuration by the user. This means that one can navigate perfectly well with IP addresses in the network but not with host names.
CUPS 1.3.x was using IP addresses for broadcasting and browsing as long as "HostNameLookups" was not turned on in cupsd.conf. CUPS 1.4.x always uses host names for browsing and broadcasting, independent of the setting of "HostNameLookups", which caused the problem for you. I have patched CUPS now to recover the old behavior. The patched version is uploaded to the Debian BZR repo and will get into Ubuntu in time for Karmic. -- shared printer not working on Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449586 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
