Thanks again. Not sure I can do a lot more now. Jus keep monitoring. The firefox 3 crashing problem could potentially still be there because of doubled freeing of memory since it now uses it won't memory allocation library instead of that of libc. While it speeds up firefox significantly but it is make it more sensitively to memory related crashes as discussed else where on opensolaris-discuss. -Ghee > > > > *George Koutras * > Proactive Technical Analyst, System Support Engineer > *Sun Microsystems, Inc.* > 9 Fragoklisias st > Marousi > Athens, Greece, 15125 > Phone x12935/+30-210-6169935 > Fax +302106169901 > Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > *Cut Utility Costs in Half - Learn More > <http://www.sun.com/service/futureproofyourdatacenter/>* > > > Ghee Teo wrote: >> Hi George, >> >> I think if you print by lpr, youmay be hitting this bug, >> >> JDS-Nevada]Firefox3.x crashes when useing "Print to LPR" >> >> http://monaco.sfbay.sun.com/detail.jsf?cr=6747225 >> >> >> Also noted if you create a print queue using >> Remote LPD with the new print manger (which is functionality the same as >> Add Access to printer.. on Solaris LP Print Manager), but with a >> different. >> >> Soloris LP Print manger doesn't update your $HOME/.printers, but Print >> Manager does.
