Re: kde & printing

I just installed turboprint and All I can say is it's slick. I've tried
printing from kedit, gnotepad+, Kspread and printing an email. No
problems in any of the programs.

The install was extremely easy. I created the printer using xtpsetup.
Checked the kde printer manager and the printer was listed. Made it the
default printer. Set the printer to print the way I wanted (draft with
letter size paper) using xtpconfig. Created a shortcut on the desktop to
xtpconfig so I can change printer settings as required.

This program seems to be first class.
