I did manage to find this section in KDE and changed it. However, it still
hasn't solved my real problem: I can't print to the Windows XP printer.
WHen I enter all the necessary information through KDE's manage printers
application, I consistently get access denied. The user credentials I am
putting in are correct. I even tried the Administrator account to no
avail. Anyone ever successfully got their Linux box(en) printing to a
Windows printer via SuSe 9.1? If so do tell!

Thanks,

Ryan
