Check to see if you have multiple versions of 'lpr' running. *If* you do, then the results that you see will probably depend on which version you run. It might be that KDE was compiled to expect CUPS. I do not use KDE, and I do not use CUPS, but you might want to see if there is some "NO_CUPS" option for the KDE port. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosehn@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
