Greetings,
I resolved the issue that I was having with being unable to initialize the
Printing Manager, thank you for your help Kurt.
I found the networked printer on CUPS and all looks well until I go to print a
test page, then I get an error saying "Unable to get printer status
(client-error-forbidden)!" In KDE Printing Manager everything looks fine
with no error messages but nothing prints.
I figure this is a matter of granting the computer the correct permissions but
without knowing exactly where and how to do that I hesitate to start
tinkering around because I don't want to break anything. The user of this
computer is part of the lp and lpadmin groups. I believe the problem might
be with the host though because root cannot print without getting the same
error message.
What do I change and where?
Thanks ahead of time for any help I can get. I will take the time to do the
same where I can answer questions for others who are struggling with Linux
knots.
Gail
