Hi all,

I seem to have run into some interesting crashes and wonder if others would experience the same thing. Two sites I have found that some strange things occur. The first site listed gives a Sig 11 crash when trying to print (CUPS). Funny thing is, if I turn off "Embed fonts" in qtconfig printer tab, it prints without problems. Here is the first site and I will include the back trace file output below. I thought maybe it was a bad SuSE qt3 rpm, so rebuilt from the src.rpm, which didn't seem to alter my findings.

Kindly see what experience you have when trying either site. Most other sites I have tried print without problems, at least I have not run into others so far.

Patrick

Hi Patrick, I have no problem with either site printing with cups from mozilla 1.4a, but do have problems printing anything when using Konq. My printer is an OfficeJet 710.

Konqueror cannot print this page on either the server machine (linux) or the client (darkside). Interestingly, when requested to print, it first prints a google search page and then the page above BUT the writing is unreadable and looks a mess

Same results as stated above, but does not print the google page. I have Mozilla (version 1.4a) installed on both the linux and darkside. Both pages print without problems on both the server (linux) and client (darkside). <snip> Hope this helps. LW999 PS - I only have a very basic network at home with one server and 3 clients.

I am guessing you are using 8.2 as well and what you have found seems to confirm my findings. Now, I suppose it's a matter of running down the problem and looking into a fix. SuSE 8.1 handled these sites ok, even with the updated KDE 3.1.1 files install, so can one assume that Konq is ok, as it does display and handle the sites well? Since the Scribus site works ok when turning off "font embedding" in qtconfig, my thoughts start pointing to either QT3 or cups. I don't know if the SuSE builder of cups has a newer version, but that may be the next thing to try.

Thanks for your time testing, Patrick --

The other thing it could be is ghostscript. I've got problems with the version that came with SuSE 8.1 not recognising postscript pages properly. I'm waiting to see what problems are with the ghostscript version that comes SuSE 8.2. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

Patrick,

have you examined the /var/logs/cups/error_log to see if there is anything there. It might be worth increasing the debug level in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to see if you get more details before the crash.
