This morning, I updated the Debian-unstable on my workstation (but not a dist-upgrade, this time).
Everything seemed to be OK... until... I tried to print a page from Firefox. No soap. Firefox would let me print to a file, but if I tried to select one of the CUPS printers, the "Print" button would be grayed out.
Firefox 3.0.10 + CUPS 1.3.10 = FAIL?
Well, a bit of googlery turned up an answer: there's something screwy involving IPv6. Since I don't play IPv6, the solution turns out to be to add this line:
alias net-pf-10 off
to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases, and reboot.
Hey presto! I can print!
Now if I could just figure out why Firefox keeps wanting to start in offline mode by default....
