OSX ++

So the home network is a wireless thing with multiple boxes on it at any given time, DHCP'ing when necessary. Typically this is swell.

Except when the XP box, for whatever reason (a router upgrade yesterday, for example) changes leases. Since that box is also the IP printing server, I have to readjust the configuration on the OSX box to find the lpd anew.

Ah, but this morning I discovered that since I consistently do this after I've already enqueued a half dozen jobs, I can -yes!- drag and drop the jobs between the old failing queue and the new functioning one.

It 'just works'.

Now to lock down the lease for that XP box... That would be even smarter....
