Regarding attachment #291946:
Your /etc/hosts contains a lot of "nil" entries:
---------------------------------------------------------------
127.0.0.1 nil
::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
fe00::0 nil
ff00::0 nil
ff02::1 nil
ff02::2 nil
ff02::3 nil
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is totally broken because it assigns in particular
the hostname "nil" (what a nonsense value!) to the
IP address 127.0.0.1 which has to be "localhost"
in any case and nothing else, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost
"Localhost always translates to the loopback IP address 127.0.0.1"
Here the values of my /etc/hosts of my openSUSE 11.1
workstion "nelson":
---------------------------------------------------------------
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
fe00::0 ipv6-localnet
ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes
ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters
ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts
127.0.0.2 nelson.suse.de nelson
192.168.100.123 nelson nelson
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fix your /etc/hosts accordingly e.g. something like
---------------------------------------------------------------
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
fe00::0 ipv6-localnet
ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes
ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters
ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts
127.0.0.2 MULTIVAC-010
192.168.100.10 APHOFIS.COM APHOFIS.COM
---------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately there is no comment in your /etc/hosts
which broken tool may have changed it so badly
or did you do it perhaps manually on your own?
Perhaps you know which tool you used to do your network setup.
If yes, file a new bug report regarding this tool.
No tool should allow you without a warning messge
to set "127.0.0.1 nil" in /etc/hosts.
I close this report as invalid because no valid bug report
is possible regarding "Printer Configuration ..."
when very basic stuff is totally broken.
