Hi
Just installed FC3 and I am having some problems setting up my
printer, a Lexmark Optra E312. On running system-config-printer, I
click on New, a little box pops up saying "Loading Printer Information
Please Wait..." and then disappears. Then the egg timer mouse cursors
just sits there and the setup program does nothing.
Running system-config-printer from the command line I get the following error
[ram@skymoo ~]$ system-config-printer
sh: line 1: 5375 Segmentation fault perl -e

Any one have any ideas what is going wrong here and how to fix it?

Adam,
No idea, but you can get at the printer configuration thru cups' web
interface at
http://localhost:631. Go to manage printers and click the
Add Printer button. Use root when requested.
BTW: There was some traffic on one of the Fedora lists yesterday
indicating that problems with system-config-printer running on some
H/W. It was not very specific, but there may be something in the
archives.
Bob...
