It sounds like a name resolution is taking a long time. Things to check: * /etc/hosts
This is my /etc/host file: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
* the ServerName directive in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf -- this defaults to the server's hostname if not present
This is my cupsd.conf file # # "$Id: cupsd.conf.in 5454 2006-04-23 21:46:38Z mike $" # # Sample configuration file for the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) # scheduler.

* does this command take ages too?: host "$(hostname)"
Computer has the name MAXDATA but if I issue $ host maxdata I get Host maxdata not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) while if I issue host localhost I get immediately localhost has address 127.0.0.1
If I restart CUPS service, it restarts in a breeze Tnx for help -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag
