Somebody scribbled about [newbie] Printing Problems with KDE Programs
Hi Guys,

Had a weird problem develop over the weekend.  I am completely unable to
print from a number of programs - the one thing they seem to have in
common is that they are all KDE progs: Kover, KWrite KGhostview and

I just noticed this with Mandrake cooker 9.2 beta 2 and I am not sure yet 
if it's KDE specifically. This much I do know - kde programs that handle 
pdf won't handle pdf anymore. Forthermore printing (via acroread, which 
uses kprinter) puts the print job in kprint job viewer but that launches 
a perl that eventually (read real soon now) eats up all available ram and 
swap.

I'm updating via urpmi at the moment - maybe that will fix it. This is the 
first time I have noticed this issue...

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.
