no printer found
- Symptom
- No printer is displayed in a KDE application so you cannot select a printer. You are using (e.g.) 192.168.0.1 as print server.
- Reason
- When CUPS listens to 127.0.0.1 it does not listen to the computer's public IP address.
- Solution
- In the KDE print dialog, select "System Options" -> "Cups Server" and enter 127.0.0.1 instead of e.g. 192.168.0.1.
