Kprinter has stopped working - Unable to start child print process

[Andrew Myers]

# uname -a
Linux ezcool 2.6.17-6mdv #1 SMP Wed Oct 25 12:17:57 MDT 2006 x86_64 AMD 
Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+ GNU/Linux

Mandriva 2007 x86-64 - Linux 2.6.17-6 SMP

# kprinter -v
Qt: 3.3.6
KDE: 3.5.4
KPrinter: 0.0.1

Any help would be appreciated, this is very frustrating.

All the best


Andrew
