Odd printing behaviour !

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: -- Best Regards: Baron
