Paul, no one is asking you to switch to gnome. However, knowing what works and what doesn't work helps to triage the bug. I think it is all very well explained in this article "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
Now, please, could you switch back to KDE and run in Konsole "sudo foomatic-cleanupdriver" and then try to add the printer? Thanks in advance. -- Unable to create the Foomatic driver HP LaserJet 4P hpijs https://launchpad.net/bugs/42123 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
