WEll, I am getting absolutely no help in this forum. However, I did figure out a work around that allows me to get prints from kde apps until such time as the system stabilizes and things work as they should.
I can pick the printer "print to PS file" which then does not call the kdeprintd and simply creates a postscript file selectively on my harddrive. Then, using the debian package qtcups, I can print to a cups printer that was set up inside of kde. Go figure it ! -- James D. Freels, Ph.D. Oak Ridge National Laboratory [EMAIL PROTECTED]
