Turns out it will print from every app I tried, but not from KDE apps. I printed from opera, star office, abiword, command line, netscape. I don't recall off hand if I have printed from KDE apps since the last upgrade. I did a portupgrade of all installed ports a couple weeks ago. I use the default lpr and my test prints in the above apps have been .txt, .abw, .sdw, .html, and .txt. And I do have apsfilter installed. And I am printing to an Epson Stylus Color 400. So the problem is KDE specific. I'm not too concerned about that with the other options I have for printing, and I don't use KDE as my desktop anyway, I use XFCE and just run a couple KDE apps - KWrite, KMail, KNode, Konqueror. -- Chip <+><+><+><+><+><+><+><+> Windows 95/NT - 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition. <+><+><+><+><+><+><+><+> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the messagehelp
