Re: [newbie] Printing help pages
I can't remember any other apps that I can't print. My printer has two set-ups defined. Some apps let me choose, and some use what I presume is a My feeling is that if you can print from one kde app you should be able to print from any other, as they all use the same printing subsystem. I'm guessing you're using CUPS, is that true? Try printing first from kedit or some other lightweight app. If the print choice is greyed out in Kedit as well as in the helper app then there's something amiss in KDE's idea of what printer is set up. Your existing printer setup should appear under System - Printing Manager in the KDE Control Center app. FWIW I'm using a bjc250. Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
