Interesting, Thanks for the info Is that networked as in via cups server on another box or networked directly to the hp-psc? I just go the sane route without hplip plus had to make users members of group lp.

It also seems that I can select a printer and print in firefox which was not possible before but I did not think that it would have anything to do with kde so I hadn't discussed it here.<br>
