We gave had an interruption in our dsl service that looks like it will last
about 10 days. Since the seervice went out we see all of our remote
printers sitting on a get_host condition for up to several minutes before
printing begins. I expect this is due to the loss of either the gateway or
dns service. Has anyone experienced this and have you found a solution.

Hi,

Sounds like name resolution is the problem here. Have a look at the
nsswitch.conf file, perhaps put your printers IP addresses in your
local DNS or hosts file for the time being and change the
nsswitch.conf. To prove it I guess you could do a nslookup.
