The name server of the provider for your home internet did not catch up
with the move of linuxprinting.org to the new server at FSG.

As an interim solution add the line

216.93.165.134          www.linuxprinting.org linuxprinting.org

to your /etc/hosts file of your box at home, to override the name server.

From time to time do

host www.linuxprinting.org

to see whether yout name server got updated. If it gets up-to-date,
remove the line from /etc/hosts.
