Network printing problem.
I have two computers at home on a small network both of which are
connected to a router. Both computers are running Debian Testing.
Computer A has two ethernet ports one of which is connected to the
router and one is connected to a network printer. Computer B sends its
printing jobs to the network printer via the router.
Everything was working well until I upgraded the kernel on computer A
from 2.6.20.1 to 2.6.22. After that upgrade network printing from
computer B would no longer work with the message 'waiting for <IP
address> to come up'. The odd thing is that I could ping the ethernet
port on computer A to which the printer is connect but not the printer
itself.
Reverting to kernel 2.20.1 on computer A cured the printing problem but
means that the sensors temperatures that have worked properly for the
first time with 2.6.22 now cannot be displayed (bother!).
That seems to mean either a bug in kernel 2.6.22 or a new setting that
I have not set. I did copy my 2.6.20.1 config to 2.6.22 and did a make
oldconfig.
Any comments, suggestions or revalations please?
