Despite your bias, it may be that the router has always been "broken" and your previous desktop software was, by chance and luck, working anyway. It such a situation, an upgrade might "break" things because of timing issues, not code changes, and the proper solution is to fix the router. I'm not saying that's what is happening here. In fact, I doubt that is the case. However, just because the combination of Xv1 and Y works and Xv2 and Y doesn't work does not imply that Xv2 is broken. What I think is happening here is that KDE 4 dropped a lot of KDE 3's printing infrastructure. IME, KDE 4 *seems* to depend on a working, local CUPS setup. In one of your other messsages you said: >In KDE 3.5.0 I could enter the IP address of the router as the address >of the print server and the printer worked fine. Not so in KDE 4.2.2. (Are you sure it was 3.5.0; I bet it was actually 3.5.6 or above.) You should be able to configure a print queue on your local cupsd to print to a remote lpd or cupsd print queue. Most likely, there is an lpd or cupsd running on your router. You should be able to browse to http://localhost:631 to set this up. When it asks for the printer / server IP, you can use the IP of the router. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
