No, and at the instant I have a far bigger problem. The qdbus update
that was pulled sometime in the last couple days is BUSTED. I didn't
restart it at the time but got tired of being pestered about it so I
let synaptic restart it. Up to then it was working flawlessly and now
its apparently broken big time. I've 2 real printers here, and cups
can't find them, and I was using it to tell kmail to do a mail fetch.
I've no clue how much else is not working now.
The output of qdbus (as me):
gene@coyote:~$ qdbus
:1.0
org.kde.kcalc-6112
:1.1
org.xfce.Terminal4
:1.17
:1.19
:1.2
:1.20
:1.26
:1.3
org.gtk.vfs.Daemon
org.freedesktop.DBus
No cups, no kde, and I just reinstalled all 3 bits of it.
Is there a config workaround that will restore its function, I have now
restarted it 5 times, but have only exercised my fingers, its dead Jim.
And my wife is going to want the pix printed that her niece just sent me
two copies of at 15 megs a pop.
Cups, at localhost:631/printers is saying it cannot locate the printer.
But I can ping the scanner in a couple milliseconds, its an MFP,
accessable at a local ip address. So add networking as a 2nd thing it
cannot do now.
Help!
