Hello,

        This morning for the first time in ages I used my modem on my computer to 
dial in to the internet instead of using my cable modem.  When I then tried 
to print, the print manager hangs, as do any print dialogs from applications 
in KDE (I have not tried printing from the console yet).  

        After doing some playing with the system, it appears that it's hanging up 
trying to communicate with the cups server.  If I terminate the dial up 
session, all of the hung up dialogs return from their hung state. 

        The URL for the printer is oddly enough NOT pointing to localhost, it's 
pointing to my cable modem assigned URL, ie is 
ipp://ny-glensfalls3a-57.bur.adelphia.net:631/printers/Samsung instead of 
being ipp://localhost etc.  My guess is that when dialed in the host info for 
the machine changes?

        I added this printer using the Printing Manager.  Would it make sense to have 
locally connected printers default to localhost?

        V.
