I just got an epson stylus cx7450 and I just can't access the printer in
yast, it keeps shutting down on me while it is loading.

In the terminal I ran yast2 and tried to load the printer function and got
this:
Command: /sbin/yast2 printer &
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): St9bad_alloc
/sbin/yast2: line 207: 30971 Aborted $ybindir/y2base
$module "$@" qt -geometry "$Y2_GEOMETRY" $Y2QT_ARGS

In the terminal I ran yast and tried to load the printer function and got
this at 40% of the database build:
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000001cb4862 ***
│Building database of drivers... │
│ /sbin/yast: line 207: 30776 Aborted $ybindir/y2base
menu ncurses

from what I can tell it is a database issue. and if that is true, how do I
get a new one?

thanks,
Mike
