Hello all, I'm trying to set up a generic postscript printer via the KDE print system and CUPS. To do this, I go into the KDE control center, select peripherals and then printers. After getting into administrator mode, I'm allowed to add a printer.
Everything goes great until I get to the point where I'm asked what kind of printer I have. I want to just choose the "Postscript printer" option, but every time I do, I get the error message "Unable to find the Postscript driver". This is totally baffling to me. I can pick the generic manufacturer and pick the generic postscript driver from there, so I know a generic postscript driver exists on my system. I also have a postscript.ppd.gz file in /usr/share/cups/model which is where I think the default postscript ppd should be. I've updated everything on my system from the mandrake update and made sure I had ghostscript foomatic and every other print support library I know of installed, but still no luck. Google hasn't been much help either. Does anyone here know what's going on? David btw: yes, I know I can set printers up via the Mandrake control center, I just think the KDE interface is much nicer...
