<p>Distro is Kubuntu , printer is epson 980 and it is local printer. I should say that the printer had been working fine until I pulled the usb cable and connected it to my laptotp where the printer installed without a problem. The laptop is running the exact same version of Kubuntu and KDE 3.5.2. I have used KDE print a number of times with no problems until this. </p>
