    Hi All:

    Since two requests to the kde list elicited no responses, I'll try here.

    Since changing from FC3 to FC4 (KDE 3.4.1-0.fc4.1 Red Hat) I've had a problem
    trying to print from KDE apps.  The problem only applies to the KDE apps,
    everything else (Firefox, Abiword, etc) prints correctly.

    Something in the printer configuration is apparently not set correctly for
    printing in kde.  The error message I get indicates, to
    me, that there is a problem when converting text into printable (postscript)
    form.  Maybe I'm just misinterpreting the error message?

    >>>>>>>>>>>> error message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    The MIME type application/postscript is not supported as input of the filter
    chain (this may happen with non-CUPS spoolers when performing page selection
    on a non-PostScript file). Do you want KDE to convert the file to a supported
    format?
    >>>>>>>>>>>> error message ends <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    The queue type is "Networked-Unix (LPD)" which I have been using since FC2
    without problems until the FC4 final.

    I've gone through the configuration files and didn't notice anything unusual.  
    I've also looked in the list archives which showed some people having similar
    problems with the FC3 version but unfortunately, the archives don't show the
    downline responses.

    I also tried adding a new user from scratch but printing is working fine for
    that account.

    Can anyone tell me where to look or what to do with the filters to solve this
    problem? Which files is printing information stored in?
