    I am completely lost with the new version of CUPS for some reason (it is in Karmic). I cannot find where an IP is even listed.

      Strange, and rather sad to think it took three weeks to get a straight answer out of Movimiento Fon. I mentioned previously broadcasting free wireless from my Fonera router www.fon.com. A noble concept, the mechanics of it leave a lot to be desired. First logging into their user's forum required a different user name and password from their website, and as I'd lost track of the last two times I tried this I couldn't tell you what they were. No help there. > But I found an old tech support address in my inbox and used that. Eventually I got a ticket opened, only to finally be told (after several bouts of correspondence) FONERA ROUTERS DO NOT SUPPORT WIRELESS PRINTERS!!

      Here, let me quote their support guy Dave -
      Hello
      Connection to wireless printers it is not supported on the Fonera router and we haven't done any test about it.
      Perhaps you can reach the printer following the instructions for file sharing:
      http://wiki.fon.com/wiki/Access_shar...rst_router_LAN

      Um, WHAT?! You're an EFFING ROUTER COMPANY! You don't think someone wouldn't want to DITCH THE WIRES EH > > > > >

      I gladly welcome further advice on how to expand the apparently limited capacities of this wireless router, but in the meantime I'll break out my USB cord instead. :P
