If I remember correctly there were several issues on the gimp-print-devel@lists.sourceforge.net list regarding those printers. Can you tell me which version of the Gutenprint driver Kubuntu provides? Regarding comment #5: When you remove a driver package but an existing print queue uses the driver, the queue can no longer work, see the help text in YaST for the "Add Driver" dialog: --------------------------------------------------------------- When a printer driver package is marked, it is installed and then you can un-select it so that it will be removed. In the latter case it is up to you to make sure that there is no printer configuration which needs the driver. --------------------------------------------------------------- I will not automatically remove the whole print queue only because its driver was removed because you should be able to specify another driver for the queue after the removal. Printer drivers have nothing to do with whatever desktop system (KDE3/4, Gnome, whatever). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
