Hi The following morning from sending that email I logged in and was greeted by a pop-up telling me that eggcups had crashed (along with gnome-volume-manager, or something like that) and did I want to restart the application. No matter how many times I clicked on the restart application button the pop-up kept coming back. After a through look on the gnome bugzilla I found the following http://bugzilla-test.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151307 specially comment 13 (prelink /usr/lib/libdbus*so), running this solved both problems that I was having. system-config-printer now works fine. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Cheers Adam
