I can't emerge anything! Gentoo is broken!! (jking) Kprinter does not appear to be aware of a postscript translater. I can view pdf and ps files through kghostview however. See "Steps to reproduce." I assume there is some environment variable that is not appropriately set, but no one on #kde knows. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Opne kprinter 2. Select pdf file 3. print...... a. kde says it must convert format into ps b. click ok, application/postscript appears as option, following error: "No appropriate filter found. Select another target format."
*Update* Kghostview displays and prints pdf and ps files.
try to remerge foomatic-*
I'm sorry, midterms hit and I didn't follow through. RESOLVED: Certain filters in kprinter interfere with the ghostscript filter (can't remember which one...I think enscript). I resolved it by clearing all settings, than adding the filters one by one till I found the offender.
