Following the instructions=20 at:http://iharder.sourceforge.net/macosx/winmacprinter/ I have everything working fine at the XP server side. But when I try to add= =20 the networked printer from my FreeBSD box, starting at KMenu->Print=20 System->Print Manager I enter administrator mode and=20 select 'Add printer/class' from the Add menu. This starts the Add Printer=20 Wizard. I select remote LPD Queue add the host and queue info. At the Print= er=20 Model =A0Selection page I check the box for Postscript Printer and get a=20 warning dialog: "Unable to find the Postscript driver." I have Ghostscript installed and it has served me well in the recent past, = so=20 I know it's there. Why can't KDE find it? Where is it looking for the=20 postscript driver?
