I'm not used to KNotifyClient, but I tried and it doesn't work. I can't figure out
why my event is not fired. Could anybody help, please.

I inserted in my code the following:

if (!KNotifyClient::event(QString::fromLatin1("printerror"),i18n("...%1").arg(errorMessage())))
   kdDebug() << "could not send notify event" << endl;

and I installed an eventsrc file in "$KDEDIR/share/apps/kdeprint/", which contains:

[!Global!]
IconName=fileprint
Comment=Printing
Comment[fr]=Impression

[printerror]
Name=Print Error
Name[fr]=Erreur d'impression
Comment=A print error occured
Comment[fr]=Une erreur d'impression est survenue
default_presentation=2

I can see my event in kcmnotify. But nothing happens when I try to fire the event.
I then replaced my event by a standard event, like that:

if (!KNotifyClient::event(KNotifyClient::fataError,i18n("...%1").arg(errorMessage())))
   kdDebug() << "could not send notify event" << endl;

Then the event is correctly fired, and I get a dialog box. Of course, I could simply use this
standard event, but maybe it's better to have a separate print error event.

Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks for any help.

Michael.
