Please help?

I installed KDE 3.1.1a and CUPS, I can use cups using the browser but for some reason I can't print, when I try to use print manager I don't have the option to use CUPS, it's just not there... how can I configure so I make it apper on the list?

Please any help on this would be very appreciated...

Under 'print system current used' it shows:

-Print thru a external program
-Generic UNIX LPD print system
-LPR/LPRng Print system
-RLPR Environtment

Thanks aa2k

Thanks for your reply, this is driving me nuts, I can't make it work and I can't find any help/info on this....
It installs by default onced picked from the companion CD that comes with the Solaris 9 (sparc) version Kit, it also includes CUPS, so it gets installed the same way... to the default location.

Both software were installed under /opt/sfw/cups and /opt/sfw/kde respectivally, I can use KDE (exept that I cant use any .jpg pictures on background - tring to figure that out too!) and I can get the CUPS web page to add the printer via http://localhost:631, after added the printer I can't print, because Kde print wont see cups...

I download CUPS 1.2 and tried to compile but it gives me and error everytime so I cant use another version (I think the one installed is 1.1.)- it does not even say why it dos not configure...mmmhhh I am frustrated... any help would be very well appreciated... if I can make Kde print to recognize cups I am sure it will fix the problem...

Since the installation of CUPS did not show anywhere on the menu of KDE I cant get to the "'Print Server configuration" (so the manual on line reads)... which file should I run to get to this GUI option? where is that file? how to I get it to the Menu?

I am new at *nix stuff and I really want to learn but these things are not easy and I am going crazy...

thanks!
