Am I the only one having all these difficulties printing with the latest KNOPPIX CD? I can't believe it, how can this be? I guess I've been spoiled with cups and the configuration tool....

I was so desperate recently that I rechecked the *.iso's md5sum (which I check right after downloading before burning anyway) and had no problem. I even tried the KNOPPIX testcd boot option and everything was OK. What gives here???

OK, so if its not cups, its probably not the Printer Configuration Tool either. BTW, its not KATE either because I printed (using ld) files created with KATE - I just can't print directly from KATE or any other app. SO WHAT IS WRONG???

BTW, this http://localhost web admin stuff is pretty convenient! Are there localhost options other than 631?

To Paradox:
You suggested saving files to *.ps (or maybe even *.pdf) to preserve the color text and or graphics in an output file. Then you can print that file thru some sort of filter, right? Why would you need to do this if you didn't have trouble printing too?
