[OpenIndiana-discuss] printer manager core dumps

[Goetz T. Fischer]

it didn't wanna produce a core anymore but instead simply quits after the taskbar tab shows something 
like "starting printer manager" for a couple of seconds. neither messages no the cups error log showed 
anything.

however i got the printer to work anyway. simply installing print/cups/hal-cups-utils did the trick. 
maybe that should be noted somewhere because installing cups itself provides access to network printers 
only.
localhost:631 still shows "not found" but the /admin part works and the cups error log complains about 
some unknown idle timeout option. neither causes trouble printing though.

if i should get a core again i'll post the mdb results.
