Hey Anne.... ever have a bad day? ever need to get some work done and things just 
weren't going your way? ever sit down with some friends  and have a cup of coffee

Of course they are listed in /etc/printcap because it is automatically generated 
even on a client when the server is the one with the installed printers and has 
been working flawlessy with all applications in kde 3.5 on this and two other 
workstations and now on this machine with kde-4  barring the aforementioned
