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.
Created attachment 25436 [details] 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 ?
