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...
