I tried with the lpr package and the same thing happens: the printer is found with a link /usr/etc/printcap -> /etc/printcap; w/o link, w/o printer. I did some more experimentation and I found that the xfprint4 print dialog segfaults kernel: xfprint4[11295]: segfault at 00000004 eip 08051002 esp bfe42990 error 4 when I try to print with it (this looks new for me) but I can control the print queue with the xfprint4-manager. Only the printer is found with lprng (no job appears -- this looks like the problem reported in [0]) and xfprinf4 still segfaults kernel: xfprint4[12298]: segfault at 00000004 eip 08051002 esp bfed29b0 error 4 Cheers, -- ,-. rollingbits -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] \`' [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] ` Get my public GPG key in http://rollingbits.tripod.com/mykey.html
