[Bug 329974] Re: SIGSEGV in _nss_dns_gethostbyname2_r() browsing Samba printers, i386 only

[the motorman]

Yes the printer does have the "hand" and it was working fine under 8.04.. I
also do not have ability to do the workaround as my GUI does not show
"windows printer via Samba"under networked printers in the
system>admin>printing GUI menu.. ( why not??)
The person who did the workaround used the 64 bit 9.04 version and I am on
the 32 bit. Apparently the 64 bit does NOT have this bug as stated in the
forums.
Thanks for your kind thoughts and ideas but I am almost at the point of
buying a wireless accessible printer.. as I spent too much time already on
this.
I have one idea that I will try and to make the windows connected printer
not shared and then reboot and make it shared.. this could well be a windows
problem.. it would not suprise me!!
Thanks again
ron Themotorman..
