Hi,

When I go to print from many applications - my computer completely freezes - it 
appears that CUPS / LP (?) often take up an enourmous slice of CPU time and stay there 
- meanwhile the hard drive is going wild and nothing gets printed.  I eventually have 
to either wait a few minutes while a virtual console comes up so I can kill the 
offending process or just reboot the computer (urgh!  Is this 
return-of-the-killer-windows or something?).

It happens for some games also - such as 'space cup' that comes with Mandrake 7.2 - 
the computer just freezes.

I am running a 128Mb PIII 450 IDE HD with a Diamond Viper 550 16mb graphics card.

Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Regards,

Ian McLeod
