I can't seem to get my HP LJIII to print. The printer and cable work fine 
under DOS. It's connected to the only parallel port (lp0? - LP1 in DOS).

I try to set up printing from KDE 2 and I get a choice of Postscript, a 
Deskjet series, or text-only. I choose text-only but can't print a test 
page. It doesn't even try - no blank page, no garbage, nothing. I can't 
print from Kmail either.

In another thread someone suggested using Kups (Configuration -> Printers 
-> Kups. There is no 'Kups' choice on my system. I had told the original MD 
8 install to load everything for a workstation.

Any suggestions appreciated. In previous versions I selected my printer 
from a long list, told the computer which port, a printcap entry was made 
for me and I was printing in no time. I was disappointed in this new 
no-printer-choice set-up in MD 8.

TIA

Ken
