Additional Information:

Comment 1 Josef Komenda 2002-03-20 23:57:28 UTC
Cannot duplicate, but have sent request for more system details to the nice
person who reported this.

Comment 2 Josef Komenda 2002-03-22 17:53:13 UTC
Have attempted to duplicate after receiving more info from user with no success.
Determined that RHSA-2001:138-10 was the cause of the problems he had been
expriencing, and offered three potental fixes: 

 - restart printer with: /sbin/service lpd restart
 - install latest version of foomatic
 - remove and re-add printer via System->Printer Configuration

Awaiting user reponse.


Comment 3 Josef Komenda 2002-03-22 19:21:46 UTC
User was able to fix problem by rolling back certain packages: 

   "I had the problem and cured it by re-loading the "old" 
    version 7.2 rpm's for lpg and printing. The new versions 
    came with the automatic update system. I suspect it might
    have been a local problem of a mix of old and new software."

So, not a bug per se - more of a package conflict/config problem.

Comment 4 Josef Komenda 2002-04-03 22:02:28 UTC
Problem reappeared after the user re-updated his system - he couldn't find docs
that told him how to disable the rhnsd. 

> If you want to disable the rhnsd service (which checks in with RHN every 
> 2 hours), you can run:
> 
> /sbin/chkconfig rhnsd off
> 
> And to keep it off, run:
> 
> /usr/sbin/ntsysv
> 
> and deselect rhnsd.
