Bug#290310: kdeprint: Unable to create the Foomatic driver
Package: kdeprint
Version: 4:3.3.1-4
Severity: important
When adding a new network printer (TCP), after the Driver Selection dialog,
the following box appears:
Unable to load the requested driver:
Unable to create the Foomatic driver [HP-LaserJet_4200,Postscript]. Either
that driver does not exist, or you don't have the required permissions to
perform that operation.
This message appears also in the case when I run the kprinter as root.
I have set the currently used printing system as LPR/LPRng. In the following
list, there are same package versions I thing thay have something to do
with my problem.
