Hi Anna,

As a pinguin, I would say: I have two fishes for you, and hope they don't smell -
but for a vegan, I better say: Here are two bananas - I hope they're not foul

first banana: Konqueror has a magnifier symbol with a plus for increasing textfontsize. Since I installed it permanently, I cannot proofe, whether saving-settings, closing and reopening would be meant by 'permanently'.
Konqueror and most programs wheren't developped for a live-cd. That's a problem with live-systems.

second banana:
open a console/ xterm/ xterminal/ xconsole
get super-user privileges
start the cupsd
Code:
[email protected]# > 
[email protected]# > su
[email protected]# > cupsd
[email protected]# >
But what the hell is CUPSD?
cupsd is the cups-daemon
It's a daemon, because you don't see it. It runs in the background, in the dark ways of your system, and waits for a (printer)command. If a printercommand occurs, he starts working.
Most commands ending with suffix 'd' are daemons.
So we solved the 'D', but what is CUPS?
The Common Unix Printing System.
More details will be found on their webpage

After starting the cupsd, you may configure it with the konqueror.
Instead of a file:///path/to/file or http://www.cups.org you type http://localhost:631 and get the setuppage of cupsd - - - no, stop.
Better you start your printerconfiguration again the way you tried before.
