Description: I can print to my printer when connected by
USB, but not over the network.
I had this bug in Fedora as well, starting with cups 1.6.3. It was fixed in 1.6.4, but apparently the fix hasn't been pushed upstream. I reverted to 1.6.2 on my Arch machine, and it's working again. I tested cups 1.7, and the bug is still there. Additional info: cups 1.6.3 and above. Splix driver for samsung scx-4623f attached to Fedora 19 server. Seems to be the same as this Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010580 Steps to reproduce: Print test page or from any other application. The print job gets stuck in the queue. |

I have a network laser printer that seems to work fine so far. I only had to remove/readd it once for 1.7.0 release when printing stopped working. But
maybe it comes back and I can confirm that revert to fix this issue. But this reverts an upstream change and should be better solved upsteam. Anything else can only be a temporary workaround.
I applied the Fedora patch, and it's working now.
I've attached my PKGBUILD.
But we should follow upstream changes if it gets fixed somewhere in a better way.
