           Summary: unable to retrieve printer list
           Product: kdeprint
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-print-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: john.sved onlinehome de


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When starting a print job, the initializing manager message appears, time out and the error message "unable to retrieve printer list" appears.

The host PC is a client.  The CUPS print server is another PC on the LAN.

This behaviour only occurs for one user.  Creating a second user account and logging into session to test gives a normal - error free - behaviour.  Another PC host on the LAN also works fine.  Using the super user or root (Administrator Mode) works fine.

So the problem seems to be caused by an incorrect configuration or previlige specification affecting just one user.

The problem started after an upgrade from SuSE 9.3 to 10.0.

Where can I find a "config" file to check or otherwise correct?
