Is that, by any chance, the same for you? If so, isn't that a clue as
to what is happening?<br>

<pre wrap="">Could you try the "print" command on the kdeprintd module?
This command has the following syntax:
print(QString cmd, QStringList files, bool remove_flag)
cmd: the command to execute, it could be any command
files: a list of files that will replace any "$out" tag in the command
remove_flag: a flag specifying if the "files" should be removed
after command completion
So, in theory, you should be able to do:
print("ls -l", QStringList(), false)

I didn't quite understand how to provide the full dcop command syntax
on the command line:
kurt@~> dcop kded kdeprintd print "ls -l" "/home/kurt/" "false"
Not enough arguments.
kurt@~> dcop kded kdeprintd 'print("ls -l", "/home/kurt/", "false")'
Not enough arguments.
kurt@~> dcop kded kdeprintd print("ls -l", /home/kurt/*, false)
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
kurt@~> dcop kded kdeprintd print\("ls -l", /home/kurt/*, false\)
parentheses do not match
Next, I tried to get it done with the GUI, kdcop. Started kdcop,
manouvered to "kded --> kdeprintd" and filled in the dialog
accordingly (command: ls -l; files: /home/kurt). This didn't do
anything else than write a "-1" into the lower white field labeled
as "Returned data type: int". I assume this just means that the
return code was "not successfull".
Last, I created a file that I could risk loosing:
kurt@~> echo "testtesttest" > /tmp/kdeprint.txt
Then I filled in the same kdcop dialog as above accordingly
(command: ls -l; files: /tmp/kdeprint.txt; remove: enabled).
This time, the "-1" return code is the same -- but the newly
created file /tmp/kdeprint.txt was indeed removed after the
dcop call had executed!
So it looks, part of the command succeeds, and part doesn't.
