Erich, this bug is about the smb printing backend, as the title clearly says. The bug description is a segfault in the process launched by /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb. That file is a symlink to smbspool.
The segfault in smbspool is easily reproducible by the one-liner "echo something | smbspool 99 me test 1 ", as described in my earlier comment. Any fix for the segfault in smbspool is a fix for this bug. Indeed there are probably other bugs in smb at present; and indeed, some may have the same underlying cause as this one. But Adam's earlier post addresses that and should allay concern. -- cups smb printing backend no longer works https://launchpad.net/bugs/39484 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
