Description Sean Hunt 2008-06-18 07:08:02 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

KDE 4 misrepresents certain printers as to-file printers, rather than physical ones. I have a Canon MP730; the settings for which were autodetected by my system, using a Gutenprint driver. KDE refuses to actually print to it; it will instead produce a PostScript file with a .pdf extension in my home directory. I then have to manually pass the file to lp. KDE 3 uses it correctly, as do all non-KDE applications.

CUPS configuration for the printer in question.

This is the PPD configuration file found in /etc/cups/ppd/. KDE 4 doesn't work
with this printer, apparently.

Just to check something : 

- When the printing dialog appears, is the bottom part empty/greyed ?
- If you change the printer from <your printer> to "print to PDF" then select back your printer, is the bottom part now greyed ?
