Re: Problem with printing in konqueror?

FWIW, I have CUPS and KDE running fine together on sid, and have done
for a while. I vaguely recall that I may have had to blow away my
configuration after a CUPS upgrade a while ago - perhaps kprinter
generates a cups.conf which the newer/current CUPS pacakges do not
like?
Can anyone having these problems try replcing their cups.conf with the
package maintainers version, reconfiguring, and trying again? It would
be useful to know if this is the cause of the problem, so that we may
try and resolve it.
Thanks.

Paul, I had this happen to me about 2 weeks ago. I had upgraded KDE to
3.1.1, and subsequently upgraded from CUPS from Debian "testing" to the
version in "unstable". I elected to keep my existing, moderately
modified, conf files during the install. They had been working OK, so I
thought "why not?"
This turned out to be a BIG mistake... I never could make the new CUPS
install work completely as it had before! It would print locally, and
even remotely via SAMBA, but I could never get it to "advertise" itself
to my LAN via CUPS as an available printer. I finally trashed my old
conf file and replaced it with the packager's version and everything
started working!
In my case, it was the old /etc/cupsd.conf file that wasn't "nice".
Submitted FYI...
Cheers,
