[ale] Brother printer woes

[Jim Kinney]

You list 2 different networks - 192.168.30 and 192.168.50. Is the
netmask all around set for a wide range to include both of those?
Can the cups server on 192.168.50.2 print to it? I use nmap extensively
when setting up a new printer since I get stupid fingers on config
files.
When you launch a test page it's a cups test page from where?

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
