Hi,

I'm having some problems with printing at work. I was able to fix some problems and can now print from non-KDE applications, see here.. However, in KDE applications, non of the printers are listed; the only options are to print to PDF or PS.

Has anyone else had this problem after the recent cups update (1.6.X)?

Thanks,

Martin

Does your printer still show up in cups (http://localhost:631)?
If so, print a test page.
If not re add it.

are the appropriate qt packages built with CUPS use flag
(e.g. qtgui)?

Also make sure you have cups-filters installed.

I'm connecting to a remote print server, non of the printers is attached locally. So they don't show up on the webinterface. I can print from non-KDE applications, e.g. Libre Office, Chromium.

Yes, the cups use flag is enabled globally.

is the print server showing the printers as windows shares?

if so, is kdebase-kioslaves built with samba use flag?
