Yea, the QT issues, happen every time the bleeding edge (of qt) |
| 33 |
releases. Once I get the packages all upgraded, the bleeding edge qt |
| 34 |
stuff works great (thanks to all the gentooers that work on qt!)..... |

After thumping all teh cups codes, it works again, but some office files |
| 42 |
from a pc that were originated in europe, cause the print to hickup. The |
| 43 |
hp printer complained about version 1.... version 2 on the tiny hp |
| 44 |
display. Rebooted several times and all my linux printing started |
| 45 |
working again. I have the original hp firmware (10 years old). I do not |
| 46 |
trust the updated hp firmwares, for several reason.... |
