Re: Printing and KWord

hmm, havent looked at kword, but i think it relies rather heavily on some kde
stuff, and would take quite a while to port. itd still be an interesting
project, for somebody who has the time (especially if its small).

as for printing, try cups. it prints to just about everything (even samba
shared printers, although, you can share a cups printer through samba).
http://www.cups.org might point you in the right direction. im using it now
on my home net (printer is plugged into my gateway, which also doubles as a
print server), i can print from unix with cups, or from windows, since it
supports samba sharing. its probably pretty big, but you might be able to
get rid of some of the serial/parallel/usb printing support, since you only
want to print over the network. maybe somebody can cross compile it (i
might, if i have the time). of course, none of the current apps support
printing at the moment, but you can just use lpr...
