(Just guessing that this is NetworkManager-related, feel free to reassign) I have cups set up with "BrowsePoll HOSTNAME" to automatically add remote printers from a specific server, on a company network When I'm in the office: - wired network directly connected to the company network - wireless network that does not have access to the company network The printers from "BrowsePoll" are not visible after boot and login, cups reports: [cups-polld HOSTNAME:631] Unable to connect to HOSTNAME on port 631: Host name lookup failure After (service cups reload), cups recognizes HOSTNAME and makes the printers visible. When I'm at home, I only have a wireless network that is not connected to the company netwrok. Therefore, cups can not access the printers. However, after I open a VPN connection, the printers are automatically visible without needing to manually run (service cups reload). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.8.1-10.git20100831.fc14.x86_64 cups-1.4.4-11.fc14.x86_64 Actual results: On boot when on the office wired network, cups can not find HOSTNAME. Expected results: On boot when on the office wired network, cups find HOSTNAME and printers are visible.
I think it's the same issue as bug 354071. cups-polld doesn't update its nameservers and thus can't resolve the HOSTMANE. You could try to find out what's in /etc/resolv.conf when cupsd (and in turn cups-polld) starts. I suggest duping this to bug 354071 and reopen it. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354071#c13 indicates that the issue is not resolved.
still a problem? if not, this is a dup of 354071
Verified fixed in cups-1.5.2-9.fc16.x86_64 . Thank you! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 354071 ***
