Folks:
I recently installed a new machine as my desktop, and upgraded Linux to
the 2.6 kernel series. I also upgraded all the printing infrastructure
(CUPS et al) to the latest version out of Debian unst*ble. Since I did
this, I've had an intermittent problem with HARD lockups when printing.
It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it locks up the
machine so bad I can't even SSH in from another machine. I was just
printing from Thunderbird, and as soon as it went to execute the print
job, it locked up. The program I'm printing from doesn't matter. The
printer knows it's about to get something, because the little light
flashes like it's getting data. As soon as I reboot, the job that I sent
to print now prints (usually).
Anyone run into this?
