Printing locking up after update

[Michael W. Holdeman]

This is my Exact problem.
I find that acrobat will print with kprint, and kmail, and konqueror will lock 
up. Konqueror will print to a .pdf file tho, but not to the printer.
kpdf will print blank pages.
Openoffice will print, kivio prints, koffice prints.

Starting konqueror from konsole I get these 
messages+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

bash-2.05b$ konqueror

changing the icon set to the ones included with kde solves the icon message, 
although the icons selected work it still complains.
I always get a complaint about the /dev directory?
and the printing lockup comes with the filter complaint.

As I said I can print to .pdf fine, just not a printer.
