Hello all, I have KDE3 installed on my Miata workstation, running 4.6-STABLE, XFree86-4.2, and the "newest" cups from the ports. I have been trying to use the printing functions from within KDE to connect to a couple of printers on my LAN. After a bit of research at http://printing.kde.org I stumbled across this bit of information: <snip> Having CUPS installed is not sufficient to have KDEPrint using it. You also need the KDEPrint plugin for CUPS installed. To determine if you have it, check the existence of the files: $KDEDIR/lib/kde3/libkdeprint_cups.la $KDEDIR/lib/kde3/libkdeprint_cups.so $KDEDIR/share/apps/kdeprint/plugins/cups.print If those files are not installed on your system, then the possible reasons are: either the kdelibs package wasn't compile with CUPS support and you'll need to recompile kdelibs (or ask your Linux Distribution for updated packages), or the cups plugin has been packaged separately (for example kdelibs-cups). </snip> So, I did a bit of digging around on my system and I found 1 of the 3 required files, that file being '/usr/local/share/apps/kdeprint/plugins/cups.print'. I am unable to find the other files on my system. Since I am not one to rule out the possibility of it being my machine, I am more or less wondering if anyone else has come across this at all, or if this is alpha-specific. If so, what is the fix? I noticed that the port has been updated, but I have not installed as of yet. Please carbon me in as I am not a part of the freebsd-kde dis list.
