For KDE2 I had installed CUPS as it was well supported by the printing system. Now, apparently, the printing system can make use of lpd or lpd additionally. I'm just using my locally connected printer (Kyocera FS-800) and there are no others who access it. Is there any point in using CUPS, then? Any suggestion what to use instead?
>From KDevelop as well as from the print system Kicker button I've tried to print a C++ source file filtered through enscript. In both cases I get the following error message : <msg> "The file format is not directly supported by the current print system. KDE can try to convert this file automatically to a supported format. But you can still try to send the file to the printer without any conversion. Do you want KDE to try to convert this file to application/postscript?" </msg> All roads from there lead to errors... The enscript filter needs text as input and outputs postscript. My hypotheses is that the printing system is trying to feed postscript into enscript and fails. What's up?
