When printing with kde, using kprinter, without using cups but with Generic Unix lpd(OR LPR/LPRNG) lpr I get the following error: /usr/local/bin/lpr -P 'lj' -#1 'tmp/kde-timothyk/kdeprint_kYcOjKA lpr:unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable. After I (re)install apsfilter (which unCUPS /etc/printcap) from a shell, lpr -P lj <filename> works fine When I pkg_delete -f cups*, I still get the same error. Is kdeprinter hard-coded to look in /usr/local/bin for lp/lpr? generic lpr lives in /usr/bin/lpr, and there is no /usr/local/bin/lpr after cups was deleted. Full install of kde3.1.2 on 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD dhcp187-25.njit.edu 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #8: Mon Apr 28 12:35:07 EDT 2003 timothyk@dhcp187-25.njit.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ARGUS i386 And a full install of kde1.1.2 on 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 128.235.220.97 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #3: Thu Jun 5 13:23:34 EDT 2003 root@128.235.220.97:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TK i386 Both machines do have a full install of gnome2, also, including gnomeprint-0.37. I don't know know if I have a conflict, a misconfiguration or an old-fashioned Unix haunting going on here. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Tim Kellers CPE/NJIT
