KDEPrint on other *NIX platforms.

[Nick Bartolotti]

Chris,

This is the answer we were hoping for. =20

One last question -- do you think the same will apply for HP-UX?  That
is, develop on Linux, move source files to HP-UX machine, recompile, and
voila?

Again, Thanks! for all your time and effort with these questions.

Nick.
