I had this for a time. It seems to compose a command which has lpr ... -P"printername" ... which looks fine unless, like me, you have printers with alternative names in your /etc/printcap. So I got commands with lpr ... -P"lp|Printer in the Lab" ... for example, which of course failed. But this messed up all applications, not just one. I use xemacs in preference to Kate, although Kate's installed... is there a "Generic (Print through external command)" option to Kate printing? If so, you could try using that with lpr as the external command. That fixed my particular problem. Good luck, Nick/ > > Debian testing/unstable 2.2.9.
