Right. I suspected this. Tried to run it from console and first says
"you must be root to run printtool" then it comes up and says:
"Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
Application initialization failed: couldn't connect to display ":0"
Couldn't load bindings.tcl
Start from control-panel or set environment variable
CONTROL_PANEL_LIB_DIR to the control-panel library dir.
(normally this is /usr/lib/rhs/control-panel) "
I manually typed "export
CONTROL_PANEL_LIB_DIR=/usr/lib/rhs/control-panel" and it accepted
this.
Then I tried to run it again and it gives me the same EXACT error.
