OK.  Some more information on my printing problem.  I can print to a local 
printer attached directly to the parallel port, but I cannot print to a samba 
shared printer or a novell shared printer.  Any printer over the network will 
not work.  All of the printers work fine when I use lpr from a command line, 
but when I print from Konqueror, or KMail, or KWord it doesn't work.  I check 
with lpq to see if anything gets placed in the queue and nothing ever shows 
up.  It almost looks as if KDE apps don't use lpr for network connected 
printers and instead attempt to print directly with ncpprint or smbprint.  
Has anybody else got this to work and is there a way to make it work?
