kdeprint problems? Try this...
Hi,
I have also had problems with kprinter crashing while using cups. For some
reason when upgrading kde and cups to their latest versions in sid, the cups
option "Browsing" got re-enabled even though I don't use it and previously
had it off. Disabling it again fixed things for me
To reconfigure the cups server in kde go to Control
Center->Peripherals->Printers and select cups as the print system. If your
printer is listed, DON'T click on it or the control center will crash. Click
Print Server->Configure Server and log in using root. Scroll to browsing and
uncheck it and click ok. The server should restart and kprinter should work
as normal. The strange thing is that if you re-enable browsing again,
kprinter won't crash anymore.
Perhaps kde's printer config got out of sync with /etc/cups/cupsd.conf during
the upgrade and got confused? Or hopefully the problem is related to bug
56263 that appears to be fixed in CVS and can be backported soon:
