I've only set up one KDE3.1-on-Woody system so far (using vanilla Woody and Ralf's Ktown debs), and I too find that Kcontrol->Peripherals->Printers gives me a dialog box with no obvious way of starting the Add Printer dialog. By experimenting I discovered that a right-click in the upper pane gives a menu from which Add Printer can be selected (and also a way of switching on the toolbar to get an Add Printer button). I've never tried KDE 3.0.x so I don't know what that did. >Once I have started the KDE Print wizard, I choose to add an IPP printer and >in the second screen I click on button "Scan" to scan the LAN for IPP >printers and then nothing happens. In older versions (KDE 3.0.5) there was a >progress bar while the LAN was scanned and when the bar was complete a list >of available printers was displayed. Can somebody confirm this bug?. I also confirm that, for all printer types, the Scan button does *not* show a progress bar while scanning - the pane stays blank for a while and then suddenly the list of found printers appears. Again I don't know what happened in KDE 3.0.x. Cheers, Nick Boyce Bristol, UK -- Steinbach's Guideline for Systems Programming: Never test for an error condition you don't know how to handle.
