    I've tried accessing CUPS through the web browser, but it takes several
    minutes to come up. During that time, my cpu is at 0%, so the computer
    doesn't seem to be doing anything. When the first page finally comes up,
    I click on one of the options ("Do Administrative Tasks", "Manage
    Printer Class", etc...) and it never seems to load the next page. Apart
    from that, I've modified the /etc/cups/client.conf file by uncommenting
    and changing the "ServerName" three times to :

    ServerName localhost
    ServerName localhost.localdomain
    ServerName myhost.mydomain.com

    Any other suggestions? Do you know of any files or logs that might help
    me troubleshoot the problem?

    Thanks,

    Hannuman
