e any additional insight? Are
there any other packages that should be downgraded in the python-turbogears

Hey Derrick,
Many thanks for the "internet printer" tip. I had been trying to use
samba to print from Windows XP with varying success. Specifying the
CUPS http address worked like a charm.
Some minor notes for others who are trying this:
- The URL that worked for me was http://server:631/print
Some useful reading:

That fixed the problem, but created a new one. Now, when I hit

And Firefox is "frozen" during those 12 seconds. Any
I don't know exactly when this happened, but some time recently,
firefox decided to by default send print jobs to a new "Xprintjobs"

CUPS printer that works. i.e. if I select my printer, whatever I want
to print prints great. B

Upgrading to 2.4.27-2-686 (from sid) does not fix the slowness problem
