greets, everybody.
for some reason unknown to me, i can no longer print from tde apps. running localhost:631
brings up the cups admin page and i can print a test page just fine. i can print from
libreoffice and mozilla. but if i try to print from, say, kpdf, an "initializing
printing system" box pops up, then an error saying cups isn't installed or is
misconfigured.
I struggled with the same thing. My notes say this:
1) Check .trinity/share/config/tdeprintrc and ensure that it represents your CUPS server +
user account on that server. This affects any printing done from TDE
2) when printing to a remote CUPS server: delete /etc/cups/client.conf - it does bad
stuff
3) delete anything *avahi*, especially avahi-demon. If you do not, you get
"ghost" printers that do not really exist. This applies to remote pronters. Add
those with the CUPS webinterface, URI: ipp://PRINTER/printers/PRINTERNAME, Geneic,
protocol: IPP-Everywhere
