I have failed miserable in my attempts to print from within KDE. I have three computers networked together via a LAN. Two are running WinXP Pro and the other (this one) has FreeBSD 5.3 installed. I have installed the entire 'cups' system as well as 'LPRng' and 'apsfilter'. I was able to get 'apsfilter' successfully configured and did in fact print a test page successfully. My problem is that I am totally unable to print from within KDE, using any of the available systems listed in the "KPRINT" menu. If I attempt to configure the 'cups' server, I receive this message: Unable to configure print server. Error message received from manager. Symbol Configure Server not found in cupsdconf library.. Using 'LPRng', I add a printer profile and then attempt to print a test page. This is the error that I receive: A print error occurred. Error message received from system: /usr/local/bin/lpr -P 'tmpprinter_SqOWXEWm' '-#1' '/usr/local/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps' : execution failed with message: lpr: error - unable to print file: client-error-not-found I have no idea where to go from here. I really need this computer to have the ability to print directly to the printer. I welcome any suggestions, Thanks! Gerard Seibert gerard-seibert@rcn.com
