Hello, On a LAN in a remote office I have setup up a printserver where the printers are installed locally, and I have told CUPS to be a server. All the client computers (about 30 of them) on the LAN are running SuSE 9.0 with CUPS installed, and CUPS automatically picked up the offered print queues on the client computers - very nice, very convenient. However the following problem keeps occuring: (I'm the helpdesk BTW, in a remote office) A user will come in to work, go to print (we print through the standard kprinter dialog box from KDE and QT apps), then report to me that there are no printers in the list. By the time I log in via ssh -X, open kate, and try to print a test page, all the printers are automatically back in the list. I can't figure out what causes the printers to "fall off" the browse list (if I may call it that). I would guess that it's some sort of network or DNS timeout, or some service "going to sleep", but I don't know what and we are not having any other problems with the network (we use NFS and SSH constantly, so I think we would notice network problems). The problem is recurring but not constand, consistent or confined to any 1 client computer. I checked the logs and there is nothing in them related to what printers are/are not in the queue. Does anyone have an idea how I can track this problem? Or keep the printer list refreshed?
