Description Stephan Kulow 2003-10-30 21:46:23 UTC 
Version:           Unbekannt (using KDE 3.1.93 (CVS >= 20031028), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-99-default

I called kprinter public_html/randomtext.txt and forgot I'm not in a directory where such a file
exists :)

Anyway, the code in kdeprint/printwrapper.cpp loops over the given arguments and tries
to reach them and then - if no existant files are there - reads from stdin, which is kind of
suboptimal error handling. I'd expected an error message of some kind.
