Curious. It doesn't look familiar. I have had problems printing from my G5 in the past few weeks, but I attributed it to something being broken in debian unstable, and right now, running current git, printing is working again for me. > which actually looks like something is broken (it says timeout in 5 > microseconds, even though the timeout structure is shown as being one > second). > > Now, it's entirely possible that the _broken_ thing is actually strrace > itself (that return value from "time()" looks a bit strange too), and that > it's some tracing problem with rinning 32-bit programs on a 64-bit kernel. I just tried stracing the X server (I don't have a cupsd running) and the selects look reasonable, e.g.: select(256, [1 3 4 5 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33], NULL, NULL, {0, 484000}) = 1 (in [33], left {0, 460000}) <0.026111> Is your cupsd a 32-bit or a 64-bit binary?
