If your print queue is set up in CUPS, kwrite should list it as

I don't have CUPS installed. It isn't really necessary when you
have one or two printers connected directly to one computer. To
coin a phrase, in this case, it is like using a sledge hammer to
kill

mosquitoes.

However, if it is possible to use the GhostScript printer drivers
with CUPS, I will install it if that is the only way.

If you don't have CUPS installed, then the Qt Print Dialog should
fall back to whatever printer queues you already have set up in lp.


Yes, but the problem is that it doesn't work. I can print to a PS file
and then open a Konsole and:

lpr <file>.ps

and it prints. So, if KDE is using the command lpr then it should work.
However, it appears that KDE is not using it except in Okular.


But you really should try CUPS, it does make a lot of things easier,


Wonder what things these would be. All I know is that it is hard to
setup unless you purchase the proprietary printer drivers for it.



I been using cups for years. I have never bought any drivers. It comes
with a lot of drivers included.
