This may be slightly off topic of this thread but it is certainly related to
KPrinting. I am using KDE 3.1.1a in Woody and I still have some problems with
KPrinter, even with the latest patch included in KDE 3.1.1a. The printers
with CUPS work fine but I always get the following message error:
kdecore (KSocket): ERROR: KExtendedSocket::connectionEvent() called but no
data available!
I have not been able to add printers with CUPS using the KPrinter wizard in
some computers in my LAN, because the wizard freezes in the process. In that
case I use the web interface and the address: "localhost:631" and setup them
from there, and later I can use kprinter. In any case when printing I always
get the error I have written in the previous paragraph.
What is clear is that printing in KDE 3.1.x with CUPS in a LAN is not
working perfect, as with previous versions of KDE. Some kind of bug has
arisen that either did not exist or did not show up in previous versions. And
the latest patch has sort of fixed it, but not totally.
