cups worked yesterday on the 2.6.8-1.503 kernel and not today under the
532 kernel. I have done a cups shutdown and then restart. Massive lag,
lots of HD thrashing then everything died and I needed a power reset to
get back to normal.

On boot, took ages to get past the cups start up.

I've done an update to the 533 kernel and will see what that does.

I still suspect a problem with cups.

TTFN
