This looks very similar to the following PR: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/10991 I'm not sure if anyone is actively pursuing this. 'mike@freebsd.org' was the last person who commented on the PR. I haven't looked into the issue myself because I'm assuming it is an issue with the kernel or some driver, and not "lpd" per se. By that I mean, 'lpd' is just copying the file to a device, and I would expect that should not freeze up the entire machine -- even if lpd is doing something wrong. The other reason I haven't looked into it is that all the printing I do is actually network-based. I don't have any printers connected to a serial, parallel, or USB port... :-) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
