Cups, Centos 6 and the Internet

Hi. I have a Centos 6 server that use CUPS to print invoices, quotes, etc, but whe the ADSL get down the CUPS server stop connecting to the printers via LPD.

The ADSL gateway is a Cisco 800 series router provided by the ISP. The router is on and reachable but if no ADSL no printing.

What will be happening in the back? Centos 5 has a similar problem, but it prints, slow but prints.

  • Nobody knows why cups on centos 6 32 bits hangs when the ADSL goes down?

    I mean if you're connection to the printer is entirely local then I can't see why it's happening. Obviously if you're connecting to your external IP then it makes sense, but I can't imagine you wouldn't know you were doing that. Perhaps I'd consider contacting Cisco about it.

  • Makes no sense, but happened two times yet. No DSL the CUPS goes crazy. And the Cisco is not working as switch. It can get fire and I am stll able to access the server but no printing.

  • Is it relying on any external DNS?

  • Do CUPS needs to do DNS lookups to print to a local networked printer with a fixed IP?

    The server has external DNS, you know, to access the Internet. But locally everithing is refered by IP.

    I hate printers. If I could figure out half the unexplainable issues they cause me, my quality of life would go through the roof.

  • Why do printers just... NOT WORK?!

    You clearly have a different printer than I do :)

    Does yours stop working at 5AM or something?

  • The hell still continues. When the DSL goes down the CUPS stops working and if I restart the service a connection not found error arises. I will go back to CentOS 5 this weekend to be back on peace.

  • Just thinking... Can I downgrade to the version used on Centos 5.9? Or better, downgrade the entire server?
