My suggestion for a workaround in Gutsy is the following: 1. DO NOT add foomatic-db-gutenprint 2. DO NOT patch KDE Printing Manager 3. Instead, add system-config-printer and hal-cups-utils 4. Modify menu entries that users use preferably system-config-printer and not KDE Printing Manager 5. (Optional) Move KDE Printing Manager into a separate binary package and do not seed it (will make some space for 3.)
This works around that KDE Printing Manager is totally outdated, not only with finding and selecting PPDs, but also with CUPS server configuration and other things. It also adds Plug'n'Print (automatic print queue setup) to Kubuntu. Note that the system trays of both KDE and GNOME are compatible to each other, so the tray notification functionality of system-config-printer and hal-cups-utils (both GTK- based) should also work with KDE. -- MASTER: [Feisty] KDE Printing Manager does not list the PPDs of Gutenprint https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99372 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
