I'm using Mandrake 9.1 and had printer/Kghostview problems (mostly crashing when i tried to print) I tracked down some KDE bug reports on the subject, (i wish i wrote them down) and i traced my problem to a problem with using CUPS and kghostview while a kppp connection was established. weird huh? anyway i changed my print system to the generic unix LPD print system and haven't had a problem since then. Just my $.02.
