[plug] More Trying to Install (Jim Householder)

[Paul Del]

Hey Jim,

It sounds like your cups is timing out when trying to find the printer.
It could be your networking if not a bug in cups

You can try using a gui printer app to check and checking your networking
before re installing cups
Cheers Paul
