sorry for the belated reply ... I tried this out now that I'm on vacation and actually have a moment to spare ;-); I followed the first 3 stesp steps you outline in that blog entry, then wanted to start "printmgr" from the command line, as KDE doesn't know about print manager in its menu (yet, I presume). I get this error: "CLNT: pmTop:getPrinterList() caught com.sun.admin.pm.server.pmCmdFailedException" and a window pops up saying "cannot get list of printers. Exiting". what do I need to do now? thx Michael > and create the > queue there.
