Hi

I'm trying to set-up Debian (Sarge 3.1) as a desktop replacement having =

been through the route Mandrake 8,9,10 and then Knoppix (the latter =

being the reason I got into Debian).

I had problems setting-up the dial-up which I overcame but now I have a =

problem getting the local printer to operate. I set it up using the KDE =

control center and the test page works fine. I even had a page print out =

from Mozilla. But after shutting down the machine and restarting next =

day, I can just print when using the test printer mode from the printer =

drop down menu selection in the KDE control center (in normal user mode =

not su or root).

If I try printing to lp0, the job goes to Kjobviewer and then gets =

aborted by the system.

Is this simply a question of file permissions that must be changed or is =

it a bug? If anyone has a simple solution please let me know.
