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.
