Usually, our Bugzilla is publicly available, but it seems that there are 
temporary access problems. So here is a copy of the report

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I launch my computer printing works perfectly. Buf after some 
times, I'm
unable to launch some software as openoffice or to select print in firefox.
   I've straced openoffice to see the software is blocked when it tries to
connect to cups server. Relaunching cups allows openoffice to launch.
   I've relaunched cups width in debug mode. There isn't any error in 
the log,
but there is nothing written after 11:31:48
   In /var/log/syslog, I've the lines:

Apr 18 11:31:48 pingouinou dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth1 to 212.198.0.72 
port 67
Apr 18 11:31:48 pingouinou dhclient: DHCPACK from 212.198.0.72
Apr 18 11:31:48 pingouinou dhclient: bound to 81.67.117.132 -- renewal 
in 10659
seconds.

NB: There isn't any changes in the IP adress
