Hi all!
I tried on my own computer with PCLOS non-official TDE remaster and on my (just 5 years
old) Samsung ML-2240, I can print everything, but if I print an image from KView, I
can't print anything else until I click on the PCLinuxOS (Mandriva-derived) utility,
which is usually just beside the Kprint icon on the notification area of the taskbar and
then cancel what was printed from KView. I could print documents from KPDF as much as I
wanted.
For the ''no default printer'' problem, you can go in the PCLinuxOS
Control Center (just beside the K menu button) and you will be able to set your printer as
the default one, and maybe to diagnose other problems.
For the next release of my livecd, I will try to remember to not install Kprint (if it is
possible), because it shouldn't be there... PCLinuxOS already comes with its own
utilities.
Thanks!

Hi Guys,
I am using PCLinuxOS from the image that Alexandre Couture created and
have discovered an odd printing behaviour.
If I click on print from any PDF or Image it prints OK first time. If I
then try to print a second copy or close the application and try to
print something else the print dialogue comes up frozen. If I click on
exit a few times it will tell me that "Kprint" is not responding and
give me the opertunity to terminate it.
After this I cannot print anything at all without restarting the
machine. However when I get back to the desktop, I get the message
that there is no default printer and to use the "--all" switch. ??
Clearing the error message allows me to continue as normal. Untill I
print something.
I have tried the various dialogues but seem unable to find or access my
printer.
Don't laugh, I'm still using my HP Deskjet 500 MK1 from over thirty
years ago. I long as I can keep refilling the cartridge with ink it
will continue to be in use !
Thanks guys:
This will not help you but I can confirm, that printing on an HP Deskjet 500
with the repository of Slávek (3.5.13.2) works fine under Ubuntu.
