[opensuse] printer suddenly disappears ??
I was printing some stuff from okular just now, when my printers suddenly disappeared and I was left with "print to pdf" or "print to postcript" only. Same thing in firefox. I restarted cupsd client and server, and I've checked that the printers are being broadcast. I guess I could restarting the machine too, but what happened to my printers?? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Was the cups update we released yesterday installed in the background? Did it repopulate the list after some time? Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, I haven't updated this machine for a week or so.

No, I waited around for long enough while I was trying to figure where the printer had gone. Looking at other systems, they have no problems finding the printers :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That's not the case here - a) the printers have static DHCP allocations and b) the printers work on other systems. Question - other than rebooting, how would I "re-connect" these printers to the client? It seems a bit extreme having to reboot to re-acquire the printers :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.8°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

For whatever reason it is only my Linux installations that have this issue. The other halfs Windows computers never have the issue.

Seems superfluous when every other system is working except this one.

Then go into your DHCP server and assign a static address based on the mac address, problem solved. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
