I am running KDE3.3.1 on a SuSE9.0 partition with my printer on a WinXP
Pro box on my LAN.

I setup the printer using YaST as HP DeskJet 610C: Queue HP on SMB
server igor.ffc Configured as:  HP [test] - ready.  This happily prints
out the test pages without any complaints.

The problem starts when I attempt to print from any other applicaton. 
At that point the print process bombs with the following error
message(s):

 print error occurred. Error message received from system:

/usr/bin/lpr -P 'HP' '-#1' '/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps'
: execution failed with message: Status Information, attempt 1 of 3:

'^BHP' to HP@localhost error msg: 'spool queue for 'hp' does not exist
on server abnormal.ffc' error msg: ' non-existent printer or you need to
run 'checkpc -f'' 

Now, I don't know what I have done, or failed to do, and I certainly
don't know what the problem(s) is (are).  I had attempted to use CUPS
for printing and failed miserable.  Presently the only way that I can
print something is to save it as a document, move it to the WinXP
machine and print it there.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
