This is the third time this has happened to me. I can not, for the life of me figure out why. I do notice that when it happens I get "child died" error 99 when cupsd starts. This time, as in the past, I solved the problem by remerging gimp and gimp-print. I can't remember this happening when I used gimp-print-cups. This might be wishful thinking but it is my guess. Note, the masked version of gimp-print was the one where I had to make those synlinks. I went back to 4.2.5 -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
