Try updating to something more recent maybe. glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2 is marked stable on amd64 ...

I now get brcupsconfpt1[10991]: segfault at 523d6b63 ip 00000000f7ed60f4 sp 00000000ffde9ed0 error 6 in libc-2.9.so[f7e64000+138000]. Seems to be the same error. I did verify that I have the latest driver version installed. Found a reference on an opensuse list for a different Brother printer (bug 440903) where they suggest pushing Brother to fix things. I will try contacting Brother, but other suggestions still more than welcome. thanks for the help Klaas I don't see how we can do anything to fix a proprietary driver. Good luck getting it to work!

So if the printer is connected locally: save the pdf to disk and use "lpr file.pdf" to print. Acroread uses the cups driver which segfaults. |
