Neither of these were the core of the problem. The main issue was a cups bug on inconsistently configured systems. Cups would resolve localhost to the real hostname. In situations where the domainname was improperly configured you could end up with urls that were incorrect. cupsd would go into an infinite loop attempting to resolve. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
