Thanks. This explains a bit more about the KDE print framework. With this=

email and the above post, I realize what I did wrong.


Here was my problem. I didn't run the "KDE add printer" wizard. I tried t=
o
hook up to an existing CUPS printer and obviously didn't do it right. As=20
soon as I deleted my printer from the CUPS admin tool and reinstalled it =
with=20
the "KDE add printer" wizard, things just worked perfectly! And may I say
I'm impressed! Excellent work KDE-Print team!

Thanks again Michael.
