Hi all.

After I configured my network the subject printer quit to work for me. When I try to print anything it only comes up an error message saying something like:

get_local_host:"" cannot find Local Host IP

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Make sure your localhost entry in /etc/hosts is correct.

If you are using dhcp (dynamic ip addressing), the localhost should be

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost <hostname>

To display your hostname, use

echo $HOSTNAME

Well that wasn't it i guess, or I don't know how to set it when using 2 Network adapters.
