I am using 12.04 64 bit. I have noticed if I configure (connect) any printer when my machine is connected to Lan (eth port) then it takes print job only if I am connected to Lan. If I try any printing job on wifi, it gets stuck in the print queue. Similarly, when on wifi if I configure the same printer again then it will take print action on wifi, but again if I switch to lan then it will again not print.

So for 1 printer I have to configure two times, one on lan and other on wifi. Also I have to make sure while firing print jobs that I should be selecting right printer by checking the way I am connected to network.

In an ideal situation, any printer configured to machine should take print action on lan as well as on wifi which happens exactly on Windows.

I believe there is something I am doing wrong so please any one correct me....

Are you using wifi through access point or its a routed wifi network? Please provide network configurations for eth0 and wlan0.

Does there exists multiple printers in "Printing" interface? Also mention make and model of the printer. Thank you.
