Hi, For some reason not obvious to me, kprinter stores its printing settings in ~/.lpoptions (I expected to find the settings under ~/.kde). When I finally used strace to check which file gets opened when I save the printer settings, I removed that file and the crashing stopped.
---This is what I had in my .lpoptions when the crashes occurred: Default HP_DeskJet_5150 _kde-filters=psnup _kde-psnup-nup=2 media=A4,Normal,Upper sides=one-sided Special Advanced%20Faxing%20Tool%20(ksendfax) Special Mail%20PDF%20File Special Mail%20PDF%20file Special Print%20to%20File%20(PDF) Special Print%20to%20File%20(PostScript) Special Send%20to%20Fax --- And this is what gets generated by default when I save the settings: Default HP_DeskJet_5150 Special Advanced%20Faxing%20Tool%20(ksendfax) Special Mail%20PDF%20File Special Mail%20PDF%20file Special Print%20to%20File%20(PDF) Special Print%20to%20File%20(PostScript) Special Send%20to%20Fax I tried to further isolate the problem, and it seems the bug is in the "media" option parser: Both "Normal" and "Upper" crash the program if they are found in the "media=" list. Furthermore, if I add random letters after media=, kdeprint will also crash. However, garbage anywhere else doesn't seem matter as far as kdeprint is conserned. I haven't tinkered with .lpoptions before, and I don't know how the "media=A4,Normal,Upper" got there in the first place. Anyway, kdeprint shouldn't just crash if some other program adds kdeprint incompatible options to .lpoptions. -- Jarkko Suontausta -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
