I hate to keep adding to this thread all on my own, but I thought maybe
this info would possibly be of help to anyone trying to assist me. I
pulled up knode and I have the same reaction when trying to start a new
article as I do when trying to start a new message in kmail. All other
functions
Since I can't add to this from Kmail I'll have to do it from Mozilla.
All other functions of Kmail work, ie..my imap folders are still
working, I can still go into kmail settings, I can still read mail, I
just can't start a new message, fwd, or reply to one. I'm sure that
something happened

Hi all,
I'm trying to use CUPS through mcc. When it searched for network printer, it
found nothing. I'm totally new with this CUPS thing.
Could you give me some direction? Does CUPS automatically detect network
printer, or is there some conf files I should edit?
Thanks.
