Using Kwrite, Kate, or Kedit, CUPS causes a signal 11 crash a few seconds after the "print" menu item is selected. The CUPS system was working well before a recent update, see attached log fragment. Also attached is a backtrace of a crash in Kwrite. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start an editor: Kedit, Kate, or Kwrite 2. Optionally, load a file. It makes no difference. 3. Select File->print 4. Wait a second or two. The editor crashes with signal 11. emerge info produces: Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4) ================================================================= System uname:

I can confirm this error. Anything that calls kprinter when using cups as the printing system causes this error on my system. Have googled around for it and found the following discussion in German: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&th=e80c2186395c0df8&rnum=1 with a link to the bug report at kde: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56263
The KDE guys have fixed this, after my last update CUPS works perfectly.
will have a look .. sorry for the delay there was a problem with the mail alias so i didn't get the Bugzilla mails
Your delay was the best possible move - this bug is *fixed*. It was in KDE, and they sorted it out
was a kde bug...
