Hi, I've been running Cups + Samba3 on a SuSE 8.2 box for quite some time now. The last few weeks I've been having big problems with the printing part of the server. One of the problems I'm having now is that gs seems to hang on select documents - both wordfiles, pdfs and others. This isn't a satisfactory situation, and I need some tips on how to debug and /or solve this problem. Here's the ps-output that shows the processes running during one printjob. lp 32334 0.1 0.7 7696 3860 ?

Has anyone got an idea? Yours, Tarjei
