-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Given my frustration with this problem I decided revert to previous versions of the firefox package. I tried reverting to all of the following firefox packages:
firefox_1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-2_i386.deb firefox_1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.4-1_i386.deb firefox_1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.6-4_i386.deb from firefox_1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-1_i386.deb The result was exactly the same. Despite the version of firefox that I had installed and running it would always crash the 3rd time I would print to any CUPS printer. This tells me that it is NOT the upgrade to firefox_1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-1_i386.deb that is causing Firefox to crash. I would imagine that it is the upgrade of the CUPS system which I remember happening some time close to when the firefox_1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-1_i386.deb upgrade happened. I also assume this based on the fact that I tested galeon and epiphany and they seem to be crashing as well. Given this I did some more testing. I have reverted to the following: cupsys-driver-gutenprint_4.3.99+cvs20060521-4_i386.deb cupsys-driver-gutenprint_5.0.0-1_i386.deb from: cupsys-driver-gutenprint_5.0.0-2_i386.deb and still had the same problem. So, this tells me that it is prob not the actual driver version since before this last upgrade it worked and I was using cupsys-driver-gutenprint_5.0.0-1_i386.deb. I then thought that maybe the problem was in either the cupsys package it self and the cupsys-client and cupsys-bsd packages back to the following: cupsys_1.2.2-2_i386.deb cupsys-bsd_1.2.2-2_i386.deb cupsys-client_1.2.2-1_i386.deb from: cupsys_1.2.4-1_i386.deb cupsys-bsd_1.2.4-1_i386.deb cupsys-client_1.2.2-2_i386.deb After, reverting I still had the same problem. So, I am assuming that it has nothing to do with those packages. The only three cupsys packages left are libcupsys2, libcupsys2-gnutls10, and cupsys-common. I would imagine that it is libcupsys2 that is causing the problem. Although, the firefox package does not show it as a dependency, or even a recommended or suggested package so I am not sure. If I knew more about Firefox like what interface it uses to print to CUPS printers, I might be able to narrow it. Also, if I knew of an easy way to revert to previous versions of packages via apt-get then I would fully revert all my cupsys stuff to previous versions and test some more. I understand that with apt-get install <package name>=<version> and that would work great if the old packages where available in the repository. However, they are not. Currently I have just been removing the packages and manually installing packages from the /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory using dpkg -i. This can be a pain when all the dependencies that are associatied with libcupsys2. Hence, if someone knows a way of adding /var/cache/apt/archives to /etc/apt/sources.list or knows of a repository that holds the old packages please let me know. Or, if you have any other suggestions, please let me know. I am kind of at a stand still until I figure out a better way to revert to old packages. Anyways, hopefully this information helps people. - -- Andrew De Ponte Contact Info - ------------ AIM Nick: HUNNYnNUTTS JabberID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Current Open Source Projects - ---------------------------- Zaurus Synchronization REPository (a.k.a.
