Hello,

I have been trying to get Cups/Gutenprint to print to my Epson Stylus
Photo R340 which is connected to the USB port of my Airport Extreme
wireless access point.  I am able to print to this printer with both
Apple's OS/X and Windows XP.  A recent firmware upgrade for the access
point changed the jetdirect port from 9100 to 9101.  This has turned
out to be a huge problem for CUPS/Gutenprint.  I have selected the
Gutenprint 5.0 B2 driver and set the printer port to
socket://192.168.1.1:9101, but when I try to print the test page, what
tcpdump shows me is this:

22:37:17.999706 arp who-has 192.168.1.1 tell 192.168.1.10

It seems to me that "192.168.1.1.jetdirect" should be
"192.168.1.1.9101".   When I previously tried to get this all working
with the gimpprint stable drivers, instead of seeing
192.168.1.1.jetdirect, I saw 192.168.1.1.9100.  Neither the 9100 or
jetdirect ports are getting output from my printer.  How can I fix
this?  Is this a CUPS or gutenprint bug?

Thanks,
       Miles
