[Bug 43059] When adding network printer wizard chooses wrong subnet for scanning

[Philipp Wollermann]

Public bug reported:

Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Binary package hint: kdeprint

When adding a network printer (TCP) with the kdeprint wizard, the wizard
offers to scan for printers in the network. It chooses the wrong subnet
however, and wants to scan 127.0.1.* and not 192.168.178.* which is the
real address of my LAN. I have to enter the correct address in
"Settings" but when I try to scan, it warns me that:

"You are about to scan a subnet (192.168.178.*) that does not correspond
to the current subnet of this computer (127.0.1.*). Do you want to scan
the specified subnet anyway?"

Scanning works then and the printer is found.
