Thanks for the response Dan.
Logged in as root/ started kpackage/ searched for printpro in installed
pkgs
and found nothing. Searched also using print & pro. Searched thru ALL
packages the
same way. Nothing. In console mode as root "which printpro" produced
nothing.
Searched for ghostscript in INSTALLED and found it there. Also found
cups, cups=common
and cups-drivers aleady installed. Also a qtcups.
Where to next?
Bill
