cupsd crashed with SIGABRT in raise()

[Jim Leinweber]

Binary package hint: cups

just upgraded a Toshiba satellite A215 laptop from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 alpha 5 (64 bit?).

Haven't tested printing yet. A cupds is currently running (first 9.10 boot)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Christopher (soft-kristal)]

It seems to affect printing to PDF or PS in the print options.

[Christopher (soft-kristal)]

Still happens on boot with the latest 3.5.0-15 installed.

Christopher, do you really get exactly the crash described here? If not, please open a new bug and follow the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems. Thanks.

That is the exact message - cupsd crashed with SIGABRT in raise(). I haven't seen any detrimental effect on printing, though. I just this minute opened cups in Firefox and it's recognising my Samsung CLP-500 laser printer and my multi-function HP Office-Jet 4500: both print and fax.
