That time I believe I put hosts before bind in host.conf and a specific entry for the workstation. Obviously doesn't work for this. Probably CUPS trying to be clever. I'll try the option three solution.

Re: [PLUG] CUPS and the Internet
I used to see this on several services on startup. Sendmail used to give me the worst problems with it. I think it's related to trying to resolve its hostname, trying to establish it's own FQDN. This is probably why your searching isn't turning anything up... you're being too specific. http://linuxmafia.com/faq/VALinux-kb/service-hangs-startup.html -wes On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 10:16 AM, Roderick A.

[PLUG] CUPS and the Internet
Anyone know why CUPS hangs during startup if there is a problem with the internet connection? I've been having some Internet connection issues (long and erratic ping times, lost packets, etc.) and while trying to chase them down I restarted my workstation. Every time it hangs while starting CUPS. Once the connection is stabilized it works fine. What would CUPS be looking for on the internet when it is just being used by systems on the home/office LAN? I did do some searching so either my search-foo is off or there is nothing about this specific issue.
