Anne,
Thnks.

You say you can get the cups page at
localhost:631. Does that find your printer(s)? How and where are they
connected?

It does not find any printer since I did not yet add printers;
this is a new computer with a fresh install.However, I do prefer
adding by kprinter thab by cups; and I did it more than once
on other computers in the past. And the printer attached is
not a local printer , but a printer attached to the local network
which has an IP of itself.

OK. I installed a networked printer with its own IP yesterday, doing it from
the CUPS interface, and had no problems. Although I use kprinter a lot, I've
never used it to install a printer.

Are you sure that the original error was not just saying that the printer list
doesn't yet exist?
