This is a fix that lofi sent to me early this morning.

The problem is the `lpr' that KDE is invoking. It's using it's own internal version that requires CUPS to be running. I don't like CUPS, so I recompiled the whole of KDE making sure that x11/kdelibs3 had the flag -DWITHOUT_CUPS. With this flag, KDE runs /usr/bin/lpr instead.

cannot print in kde apps using lp
I posted about this about a month ago, thought i had it it figured out but I guess I fooled myself. I have kde 3.5.4 installed in fbsd6.1. I cannot print from kde applications, such as the printer control module, kpdf, etc. I can print just_fine from OO.o, Firefox and Adobe Reader 7. The error kde gives me is: usr/local/bin/lpr -P 'lp' '-#1' '/usr/local/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps' : execution failed with message: /usr/local/bin/lpr: Connection refused I do have cups installed but it is not running or enabled. I dont understand why I can print from non-kde apps but not from kde apps. --Karl __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
