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
