<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span class="postbody">For
some reason Kprinter has stopped working correctly. the error message
is:
<br>
<br>
"Unable to start child print process. Check the command syntax:
cupsdoprint -P 'Oki' -J 'envelope.ps' -H 'localhost:631' -U 'andrew' -o
' copies=1
multiple-document-handling=separate-documents-collated-copies' "<br>
</span></font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span

If I try to run the command at the command line I get:
<br>
<br>
"This utility doesn't support printing from STDIN
"<br>
</span></font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span class="postbody">Cupsd
is running, I can look at the admin system on the web, the test
pages print correctly through the KDE control module, and there are no
apparent logged errors, just the error marked above. I can print the
file from the command line using lp/lpr.<br>
<br>
If I change the print system to lpr I get a similar error message from
Kprinter.<br>
<br>
"Unable to start child print process. Check the command syntax:
/usr/bin/lpr -P 'Oki' '-#1'"<br>
<br>
Googling indicates that it may be something to do with an update I may
have installed recently, but restarting the system certainly makes
no difference.
<br>
<br>
Does any one have any ideas as to why this might occur?
