Hi Jacob
I'm no guru but have been sweating over printer installation recently
and I know how frustrating it can be. I've used the KDE3.1 control
centre to install printers but it sometimes won't seem to accept the
root password - I've found logging in through a browser to
http://localhost:631/admin to be a more reliable way to install a
printer.
Good luck
Clive
