The reply from the CUPS mail list: I am going to guess that the version of CUPS that you are running was built with '--with-printcap=/var/run/cups/printcap'. I don't know why you would have an /etc/printcap that is older, unless you had upgraded from an older version that was built '--with-printcap=...

Thanks for the tip. Any idea why restarting cupsd doesn't regenerate this file? The header in this file says that's the way it is created. I'll pass this on to the CUPS maintainers. Maybe they'll fix it.

I currently have both Qcad 2.1.6.4 and 2.2 installed, 2.1.6.4 shows all printers and prints fine, while 2.2 does not even show any printers under its print menu. I am printing over a network, from Ubuntu 8.04 to a print server running 7.10 I seem to have the same problem with QCAD 2.2.1 on Ubuntu 8...

Not sure if we are on the same page. Andrew, I think he might have been thinking of a context sensitive menu where you could select a to have properties dialog appear.

I specify the entity, the radius and try to put in a relative angle on the command line, i.e.; degrees of arc, and it will not finish the arc. I press the space bar and enter @2.5 for 2.5 degrees. What am I doing wrong?

I finally figured it out! When QT Assistant is run, it looks in your HOME directory for a dir named .assistant. If found it uses it. If not, it creates it. The contents of my old .assistant directory as follows: contentdb40.QCad indexdb40.dict.QCad indexdb40.QCad contentdb.QCadManual indexdb40.doc.Q...

Selecting help from the menu or pressing F1 makes QCAD quit. I just installed QCAD 2.1.3.2 on an up-to-date Ubuntu 7.04 as follows: cd /opt sudo tar xzvf ~/qcad-2.1.3.2-1-prof.linux.x86.tar.gz sudo rm -r qcad-2.1.2.8-1-prof.linux.x86 sudo rm -r qcad-2.1.3.0-1-prof.linux.x86 cd /usr/bin sudo ln -s /o...

Can anybody else verify this?

If I select an object, type mv, click a random point, press space-bar and enter a relative distance, select keep original in the dialog, the original is deselected and the new copy is selected. At this point I cannot select other objects or deselect the new copied object with the mouse. Though, afte...

I know, users always love it, but want more. Dimensioning for surveyors: shortcut couold be "ds" Angles are always less than 90 and related to compass coordinates.
