[STR Closed w/Resolution]

I'm wondering if this may be related to a problem we see on MacOSX 10.7
(running cups 1.5.2)...

For complex reasons some of our Macs are on a bit of network where they
cannot see printer adverts (and we don't yet support
dnssd/zeroconf/bonjour) so they are configured to use browsepoll to the
relevant cups server.

That had been working perfectly, but since whichever update included cups
1.5.2 there is a problem.  After a Mac has been sleeping all the printers
are missing when it wakes up.

Using ktruss on cups-polld shows that it is in a loop logging errors every
minute but it never tries to contact the server.

Currently we have told the users to kill cupsd which causes launchd to
start a new one with a new cups-polld and the printers re-appear but it
isn't ideal...
