I installed Kups and its required cups today in an effort to get my HP LJ3
working as a local printer. LPR just doesn't seem to be available anywhere
in ML 8. Alas, it was not to be! Kups shows up on the KDE menu now, but
when I run it it says there are no ports (the LJ is connected to the
parallel port and works just fine under dos).
I'm very close to giving up on Mandrake 8. This is all supposed to be
really simple stuff. I had no problems with in earlier Linux distributions
- Mandrake, SuSE, RH, et al. Then there's other things like the crappy
fonts in KDE and getting my 56K modem to work on the net when set to run
faster than 38400.
