imac on lan, printing to f14: network host '192.168.2.8' is busy, will retry in 30 seconds

Friday, 14 October 2011

I recently got help from this list and was able to print from imac on my lan
to an hp printer connected to my f14 box.

Now, yet another problem trying to print from an imac on my lan
to the same laserjet, but now  used by another version of f14
[root@f14 ~]# uname -r
2.6.35.14-97.fc14.i686

this new version of f14 is one I just recently installed from downloaded iso,
using hardisk install, all of that went smoothly.
But I must have messed up  the cups config somehow.

The imac sees the printer, but  response is "... is busy, will retry..."

Dialog screen when clicking on the bounceing printer icon on the imac:
printer ready
   connecting to printer

network host '192.168.2.8' is busy, will retry in 30 seconds
----

from lpstat on the imac:
iMacg5:~ carole$  lpstat -t
scheduler is running
