[plug] Printer won't print

[Lance Duivenbode]

Hi Margaret,

This may be a silly question but have you logged out and back in since 
you added yourself to the printer group? Group membership is cached upon 
login and since KDE will spawn new processes from it's original login 
they inherit the membership.

Cheers,
Lance
