Hi,
Despite a weekend of trying to get cups to respond, I'm faced with
either having to install from source or find a previous version.
The error logs indicate the backend is dead rather than anything else.
s-c-printer still causes a fall over and the desktop to restart itself
(nautilus is killed, gnome-panel is killed and so are all applications
running at the time).
Trying to restart the cups server kills the machine!
Is there another release candidate due soon or should I install from
source with all of the fun and games that brings?
CUPS is working fine for me, and I haven't seen any bug reports
similar to your description (that's a hint to file one yourself, by
the way :-) ).
You say that "the backend" is dead: which backend do you think is the
trouble-maker? It's easy to disable a backend, just by removing the
executable bit, so it's not difficult to test.
