Xprt is part of the xprint package. As I said, in my reply to myself, I had removed xprint but not a call to it in my cupsys reset script. > > There is (was) an issue for sometime in Konqueror it would refuse to > print anything - nothing would go to the printer.

It brings up a > message box relating to lpr saying client not found. lpr (/usr/bin/lpr) is part of the cupsys-bsd package. If your running cups, you should have cupsys-bsd installed as well. ISTR when I was having a problem printing, I didn't have a /usr/bin/lpr either. I do now and, since getting rid of xprint/xprt-xprintorg I finally have printing working again.
