[nmglug] Mozilla apps freeze on print

[BrianO'Keefe]

I was having a strange localhost issue when I was in Mexico and I had
almost no internet in Ubuntu. I'd get a pop-up that said I needed to
check the date and time settings and that the localhost at localdomain
certificate had expired as of 2005. I can dig out those messages but I
had posted them when I was there and having the issue. Don't know if
it's relevant.
Here's restarting cups:
brianokeefe at ubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart Password:
 * Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd cupsd: Child exited on
signal 15!

And trying to print freezes the app again.

I was having trouble with Network Manager so I edited
/etc/network/interfaces and commented out all the interfaces that I had
activated in Mexico to use the standard Networking in my attempt to get
internet service. I'll include the current config at the end of the
post. Infinitum was the Mexico ISP. I probably commented out something I
shouldn't have.

I'm not running a firewall.
Here's the output:
