Curious.  It doesn't look familiar.  I have had problems printing from
my G5 in the past few weeks, but I attributed it to something being
broken in debian unstable, and right now, running current git,
printing is working again for me.

I just tried stracing the X server (I don't have a cupsd running) and
the selects look reasonable, e.g.:

select(256, [1 3 4 5 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
26 27 28 29 30 32 33], NULL, NULL, {0, 484000}) = 1 (in [33], left {0,
460000}) <0.026111>

Is your cupsd a 32-bit or a 64-bit binary?

Paul.
