I've tried that !  Under printers there is my DJ500 listed along 
with "Ksendfax, Mail PDF file, Print to File (PDF), Print to file 
(postscript) and Send to Fax"  Both the print to work just fine.
Under the "Instances" tab it just shows (Default).

However if I print a PDF or an Image and look here everything just locks 
up.

Fine about Kprint that probably explains why I can print Ok from Libre 
Office.

Thankyou !  I have several friends who now run your unofficial PCLOS TDE 
remaster with very few issues.  I only have one user that can't print 
anything, but he has a HP win printer. :-)
