Can No Longer See Networked Printer

[Ronald McCarty]

Sounds like either a configuration setting wasn't committed to config  
files or the startup scripts (i.e., if you're manually managing  
iptables, or cups was started by hand) or that the firewall was turned  
off and then it came back up when the workstation lost power or was  
rebooted.
