i would hope so, but i have not had such a problem. if i did, i would
write a 'ping' script.

depending on printers ethernet connection type, you could also use
termcap commands to check for 'printer ready'.

i know, way out, but something to plays with until someone replies with
a better solution. :)

or, get kde3 source to see how they did it.

or, run exe file under wine, which may be easiest.

out of curiosity of features of dir-320, i logged d-link site, but could
not find a dir-320. i did find a dir-330 and user manual;

ftp://ftp.dlink.com/gateway/dir330/manual/dir330_manual_110.zip

which shows that dir-330 has ip address reservation.

have you checked to insure that dir-320 does not have same?


much luck to you.
