However, once I set up HPwebjet again (it also disappeared when I updated) the whole set up works again. So I conclude that there is another filter somewhere having to do with the Hpwebjet program. I am still looking. I will note your solution for future reference. Thanks again -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Considering how often that filter =True comes up, I decided that I should try to take it to the kde lists. I'm certain it is kprinter that puts it there. If anything useful comes back I'll report here. Anne - -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?

[newbie] printing in Kmail
Printing doesn't work in Kmail for some reason. Cups daemon is up, and the printer shows the right config, but when I go to print, the print screen doesn't show my printer. Anyone know how I can get the printer connected to kmail or the rest of the system for that matter? TIA for any help. -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842
