[GRLUG] No connectivity between two specific end-points

[megadave]

192.168.1.6 appears to be a router, from your traceroutes.
I am assuming that 192.168.34.183 is the printer?

Things remaining to check:

1.6 type of device
interfaces/routing table on 1.6
IP address each of "A" and "B"
(Do "A" and "B" ech have only one network interface?)
