After poking at it a while, I discovered that it is connecting to the lpd daemon on my systems and hanging with the daemon running at about 6 or 7% of the CPU forever. If I kill lpd, gnumeric comes up! Any idea what gnumeric is doing that causes it to connect to the daemon? An important issue (and the more likely source of the problem) is that I run LPRng (ports/sysutils/LPRng) on my systems. I suspect hat this is causing the problem, but it is SUPPOSED to be fully compatible at the socket layer with the standard lpd. A new version went into ports last week and that is almost certainly when the trouble began. N.B. I don't really think that this is a gnome issue. I'm just hoping for a clue to lead me in the right direction to troubleshoot this. Thanks, -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
