[newbie] printing and kdmrc

2003-02-24 Thread sean jacobs
I have been having a couple of problems with kdm and printing i was hoping 
someone could help me out with.

first off..whenever i reboot linux, i have to readd the printer every time. 
i have yet to figure out why. my printer is detected properly and prints the 
test page during mandrake installation and after i reinstall the printer 
with printtool, but every time i reboot, i have to remove and readd the 
printer with printtool. i have an hp officejet 570, using the driver 
reccomended by printtool.

Secondly, i have been trying to add a window manager (fluxbox) to the kdm 
login menu. everything works fine until i reboot and my modified kdmrc is 
apparently overwritten. until i reboot, everything is fine and it's on the 
menu, but once i reboot, the changes to kdmrc are gone. after modifying it 
again and restarting kdm its fine again so i'm pretty sure that's that only 
problem. i have sifted through /etc/rc.d/* with regrep and haven't found the 
problem yet. i followed a few leads from there to a few other files but 
still haven't found a script that overwrites kdmrc. can someone offer me 
some insight on this problem?

thanks in advance

Print tool is probably not saving the configuration info, try printerdrake

Add it through the session manager applet in the KDE Control Center instead.
