Howdy,

OK, installed KDE 4.4.1 on an older box (BE-2400 4GB ~x86), seems to be working 
pretty good.  But am having trouble trying to figure out the kde way to 
configure a network (cups on a kubuntu system) printer.

From system_settings, Printer Configuration, the Server Settings are all 
disabled.  I think I need to set "Show printers shared by other systems".  So 
first tried running system_settings as root to see if it's an authentication 
issue, no luck, still disabled.  Next did some googling and thought maybe need 
to use kauth to allow it, again no luck.  Any good tutorials on how to use 
kauth?

So any ideas on what piece of the puzzle I'm missing?

On a side topic, I had cloned the System Settings menu item to set one version 
up to run as root.  The new menu item does not show up in the new menu manager, 
but does using old style menus.  Any pointers on how to add items to the new 
menu style?

TIA,
Roy
