THIS is very valuable information :-) After looking at the code, I
think it's a bug. Unfortunately, I'm not running Linux ATM so I cannot
check. Can anybody confirm that scanning the default network subnet
does not work?

A possible patch is the following,
kdelibs/kdeprint/management/networkscanner.cpp: in function
NetworkScanner::slotScanClicked(), replace:

	if ( d->localPrefix() != d->prefixaddress &&

with

	if ( d->localPrefix() == d->prefixaddress ||

(I never triggered that potential problem as my network printers
are located on another subnet).

Michael.
