OK. do you know by any chance bugzilla number or should I file a bug on bugs.kde.org or is this known and I should just wait? (A search on the error message to bugs.kde.org did not yield result). I wonder how do the rest of you set up printers, via system-config-printers still ? If that's the case, I wonder how other distros that runs KDE set up printers since I thought system-config-printer was Redhat's stuff. Do they use CUPS directly ? > > 2.
