That message > indicates that the print daemon (cupsd) is not running. "I" haven't installed cups, but looks like KDE "dragged" it along. So yes, cups-lpr seems to be installed and no cupsd is not runing. And I really don't like cups running, I'm quite happy with the systems lpr/lpd. So, can I remove safely all-that-is-cups without breaking anything in KDE? And how do I reinstate my systems lpr? And the printsystem is set to the "Unix LPD system" (default) but also tried the "LPR/LPRng system". BTW: what's the knob for *not* building CUPS, and why isn't this set as default?
