You can use the cups web interface (check the docs for how to run it) or KDE should provide an interface to set it up. You can use ipp or sockets. The user guide covers that, too. On Tue, 11 Feb 2003 08:53:12 -0500 gabriel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i'm trying to get my gentoo box (running

Yes, if KDE has something use it - kups would be a last resort. You might have to go in and configure the printer through it's properties. Another way is the web based cups admin tool - it's http://localhost:port where port is documented in the cups docs. I don't rememeber it of the top of
