Gmail's UI is confusing garbage... I somehow managed to send this reply
only to Michele, and not the list

Thanks for the info.
KJobViewer autostart is dependant on tdeprintrc:Jobs:KeepWindow
property, so you can set that to false rather than
remove the file, otherwise the next build may reisntall the desktop
autostart file.
Still we will need to see why cups is pulled in if built without
support for it.
I have created an issue on TGW as a reminder
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdelibs/issues/78
Every distro would have it, so it's not something that would get noticed. I
was thinking, I might well be the only person here that doesn't have CUPS.
I'm a stubborn dinosaur... I'll have only what I want, how I want it, and
where I want it :-)
The option to disable Cups does allow tdelibs to build, at least. It was
never a problem for me before this change, perhaps kjobviewer was just
silently failing to load (I don't think I've ever seen it, even on my
Manjaro gaming setup where I do have Cups... also a build from before the
change, I'm soon going to do a new build there too). I don't remember
seeing it in KDE back in the 2000's either (and you guessed it, I didn't
have a printer then either)
I also saw the KJobViewer "keep window permanent" commit in tdelibs when I
was looking for the cause of the changed behaviour for me, but didn't make
the connection. Indeed I would expect my next build to install that
.desktop file with tdebase.
Thanks for posting the report. I'm not too good at that. Will test if
anything is done about it though.
