This is not Windows, but in the same tradition, after rebooting my CUPs server, I have lost connectivity to this printer from *both* windows machines, both from user and admin accounts. This is frustrating as it points to CUPs as the culprit, but I haven't changed the CUPs configuration in a *long* time. BTW, I can still use the printer from my F11 laptop.... The next step for me is to delete the printer entirely and re-install it, possibly under F13 when the ALPHA gets released next month.... >> >> Kevin, at the risk of severe information overload, you might want to >> consider using Wireshark (or other similar tool) to grab some data packets >> off the network to see what, if anything, Windoze is doing when the printing >> fails. I'll get to this after the above, but only as a last resort. This printer was originally installed under FC5 as an LPRng printer (as that was the driver that Samsung shipped with it). Samsung has a newer unified driver now, and it may be time to see if the latest Fedora printing support does any better as I'm starting to have problems with duplex printing (that I didn't have when I first installed it). Then again, its on its 3rd set of toner cartridges, and 3rd set of waste toner cartridges, and now its telling me that its time for a new drum and a new belt drive. These two "consumables" are about to cost me more than I spent on the printer in the first place.... -- Kevin J.
