Public bug reported: Using cups [1], and openoffice [2], when trying to print a document the terminal (booted over ltsp) crashes out to the login screen after functioning for up to a few minutes.
I think I traced the problem to the users .cups/lpoptions file which had the following two lines in it: Default Optra-S-1855 Duplex=None InputSlot=Default Dest Phaser-780 Resolution=600x600dpi When these lines were replaced with the one following, the system stopped crashing, and started to print. Default Optra-S-1855 Steps to repeat: Launch writer -> File -> recent documents Scroll down to page 3 of document. -> File -> Print -> Select printer (Phaser 740, network printer) -> Print range : page 3 -> Options -> Black and white ticked -> Leave "print hidden page" ticked. -> ok -> ok to print. -> warning about transparent objects, select no -> press 'print/ok' (whichever it is) If you need any more info on the server setup (or the file which causes the crash) let me know. I didnt test on other files.
