I forceupgraded it, and I could delete and reinstall the printer, so it now works as it did before. I still can't get CUPS to work in KDE though. If anyone has any ideas on that, please share them. --- Rod Person wrote: > On Sun, 2006-08-13 at 23:07 -0700, Sean M. wrote: > > The story so far: > > I had cups-1.2.2 and couldn't get KDE to use it with my HP PSC 1400 > and > > hplip.
