If you can, fix it, then in a console, su to root and enter rccups restart. If you can't figure it out, copy and paste ~830-840 to an email and we should be able to get you going.
Joe, When I right click on desktop and select run command and type in "kdesu write" (omitting quotes) I get a box "/bin/sh - Konsole" with no option anywhere similar to kwrite file menu or open. I also get the run as root box with "command: write" on one line and "password" on second line. I enter my password, click ok, the run box disappeears but the /bin/sh box changes to "<Finished> - /bin/sh/ - Konsole". The first option in the top menu bar is "Session" and in that drop down menu the first option is New Shell. I thried typing in /etc/cups/cupsd.con and get the Permission Denied i got before. The other choices dont give me any option to "choose open in kwrite's file menu". Sorry Joe, you've taken a lot of time and I just hope I'm not doing some things wrong. I think I should just get another printer. This Linux stuff is tough to learn. I read about SuSE and Linux a lot but I don't know how to do very much. Are you at the NTM Hq in Sanford? I live in Central Florida. My wife and i retired to a place on Rt 27 in Haines City. I would like to buy you lunch some day if you are in Sanford Blessings, Andy
