Bug 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.

I can confirm this. I'm not sure if this is supposed to work this way, or if it's supposed to look for the correct subnet, then scan.
