Have you done: adduser usrname lpadmin ;Adds the user "usrname" to the group "lpadmin" in ;the /etc/group file so usrname can admin CUPS. ? Is CUPS already setup properly, and printing properly from a local printer? See the above in: KDE-Debian HowTo for KDE2 & Debian3=Woody X86. http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2002/debian-kde-200202/msg00097.html If any of this fixes the problem for you, would you please reply to this msg on this list & let me/us know? Thanks. :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo! Greetings! http://greetings.yahoo.com
