Turns out it will print from every app I tried, but not from KDE apps. I=20 printed from opera, star office, abiword, command line, netscape. I don't= =20 recall off hand if I have printed from KDE apps since the last upgrade. I= did=20 a portupgrade of all installed ports a couple weeks ago. I use the defaul= t=20 lpr and my test prints in the above apps have been .txt, .abw, .sdw, .htm= l,=20 and .txt. And I do have apsfilter installed. And I am printing to an Epso= n=20 Stylus Color 400. So the problem is KDE specific. I'm not too concerned about that with the= =20 other options I have for printing, and I don't use KDE as my desktop anyw= ay,=20 I use XFCE and just run a couple KDE apps - KWrite, KMail, KNode, Konquer= or. -- Chip=20 <+><+><+><+><+><+><+><+> Windows 95/NT - 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patc= h 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 message
