I am seeing different behavior. I think it works perfectly. Can you explain what is going wrong for you? I can go to the print manager, select printers, print to them, all from KDE. And the printers I print to are set up in CUPS as SMB printers attached to Windows PC's. I do know that the configuration of CUPS is different with the new version. The syntax of the cupsd.conf file is different, and there are some default authorization and encryption settings that are different than previous versions. Ensure you have all this set up properly. I always put the 'Print System' applet in my taskbar (kicker). If you click on this and then select 'KDE Print Settings' and then select 'Cups Servers' from the icons on the left side it should list all the settings for CUPS there. Are you certain these all match up with what is in cupsd.conf? We can work this out, I'm sure. It works for me, and I have what I think is a fairly complicated printing setup on my network (actually it isn't, but it requires Samba and Cups to be set up correctly). If I open up the Printing Manager (Main KDE Menu - Settings - Printing Manager) and look at the setup I have, I see: Local Printer URI: ipp://rmlinux.mcmurchy.prv:631/printers/LaserJet Device: smb//randy/laserjet What do you see? -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.27] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 11:18:00 up 9 days, 3:18, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.00, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
