Any comment from the Slackware team on this? Patch planned?

The solution is to apply this patch http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patc...ocking-1.patch to cups 1.4.4 and recompile it.

This way, you can keep gnome-vfs and use cups 1.4.4 and printing works again.

This fixes the problem at least here with :
- Slackware64-current
- firefox 4.0b7
- cups 1.4.4

It has still to be confirmed on :
- slackware 13.1
- slackware64 13.1
- slackware-current

With both firefox 3.6 and 4.0beta

cups has been upgraded to 1.4.5, but this bug is not fixed yet.

However, I can confirm that Bourdieu's patch works with cups 1.4.5 and 13.1, both in 32 and 64bits.

A new cups package has been uploaded which fixes this problem - http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackwar..._slack13.1.txz

Thank you, Patrick.
