printer in 8.04 (KDE 4.1)

[reggler]

Hi there,

I had setup a samba printer on my system with 7.10 and it used to work just fiune. Then I decided o upgrade to 8.04 and with it as well to KDE4.1. That's where I'm at now and i don't have any possibility to configure a printer in "system setting" - there's no more icon to add/configure a printer. The old one doesn't print anymore So I'm kinda stuck here. How can i configure the printer setup from where i'm at?

Thanks,
Ron

Open Konqueror and in the URL address line enter "localhost:631" with no quote marks. That should open your CUPS configuration utility.

Hm Okay,

There's that JP LJet 4000 printer on 10.243.249.151 shared as "NovaxW1" by a WindowsXP machine that I added and it would be ready to take jobs and stuff but it keeps telling me recoverable: Network host '10.243.249.151' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds..." after tryintg to print a test page - even tho other hosts are able to print.
What could this be?

Thanks!

Since you still have 3.5.x installed (?), you can always

kcmshell printers

to get to the familiar settings dialog... don't know if that will help you with your problem though.

Yes this helped, I was able to set it up properly with "kcmshell printers" - Thanks a lot!
