KPrint / KDE Print Manager Failing to Initialize

[Gail LaForest]

Greetings Matthias,

I cannot do anything in Kprint since it hangs in the "Initializing Manager" 
stage as soon as I open it Printing Manager which disables everything making 
it impossible to open the Manager and click on anything.

Is there a way to do this via a configuration file instead of in Printing 
Manager?  Is there a file that I can delete and replace with some default so 
that I can at least use Printing Manager?

Thanks for the reply, I really do appreciate it!
Gail
