Kprinter has stopped working - Unable to start child print process

[Andrew Myers]

Mandriva 2007 x86-64

Worked fine up until two weeks ago.

Printing from the command line, from another programmes such as kwrite, 
browsing from kprinter and  drag and drop from konqueror all gives the 
same error.

Printing without kprinter works fine.

I have, since my first post, found that printing from root through 
kprinter still works, so I suspect that this may be a permissions 
problem, but I have no idea where to look for any file with the wrong 
permissions.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply

All the best


Andrew
