I'm running Suse 10.3. I bought an HP Laserjet P2055DN which I connected to my pc--as well as two Windows machines running XP--through a router (Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Router, mod. # BEFSR41). I used the CUPS web interface (after some advice here in another thread) to get it working.
It works with the Windows PCs just fine--and always does. It worked with my linux PC at first. But a few days later, nothing I tried to print would. With some help from folks here I got it working again--changed the URL for the printer from ipp to ldp, which seemed to do the trick.
Yesterday I tried to print again for the first time in a couple of weeks--and nothing. I get the same 'Network host 192.168.1.104 is busy, down, or unreachable. Will try again in 30 seconds' error message. That's all I EVER get on my PC, but the Windows machines can print with no problem.
I've been getting suggestions in a thread elsewhere on the forums here, but one comment suggested a new thread in hopes of getting some help from one of the network gurus--so here I am.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this--and keep it fixed? (We sometimes unplug the printer from the router to plug a Windows laptop into it for netsurfing. Is that causing a problem?)
