Hi Leonard
Glad it helped ;)
FWIW I've never managed to install printers with KDE Print Manager and
as cups works so well (for me), I've not spent the time investigating
why. Suggest you file a bug report.
You may find a resistance to html mail on this list, although I know
you're not subscribed. You can see how it looks in a text mail client
;)
Regards
Clive
