Wondering, are you rebooting between work and home, or suspending?
There may be printer discovery issues if only suspending. Perhaps some
of the services should be restarted, but aren't.
I've found that, from time to time, I have to restart cups-browsed and
cups, when something has changed on the LAN. Printing just about
always works as expected on my old CentOS box, but Fedora requires a
sadistic amount of horse-whipping to print to the same printer, whether
I'm printing directly to the printer (it's a networked Hewlett Packard
P3015 laserjet), or via the CentOS server.
To make matters worse, Fedora (40) keeps on defaulting to stopping the
printer on errors, rather than simply aborting the job, and that is a
seriously annoying setting.
Several older releases of Fedora ago, I didn't have this problem.
Inconsistent settings is something I hate about this "discover the
printer automatically, all the time" methodology instead of setting
your printer up manually, once.
Yes, I'm suspending and then waking when I get home.
