Hello .
I am using KDE4 on opensuse 12.1
I need to set a variable value for configuring FreeNX serever.
Something like :
KDE_PRINTRC="$KDEHOME/share/config/kdeprintrc"
I am unable to find this file.
Could you help me.

do you have a printer installed? cups? I would think that if you set the variable and the file was not found it would be created if needed

I have the file (see below)
Code: Select all
[General]
PrintSystem=cups

[Jobs]
Size=550,250


ps moved to Operating System specific -> linux, as it seems more appropriate


OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x

More info :
-) platform Version 4.7.2 (4.7.2) "release 5"
-) Yes I print via CUPS

By searching on google I found :
A)
-The file kdeprintrc seems to be used in KDE3.
-The file path is automatically retrieve by issueing this command : $(kde-config --localprefix)/share/config/kdeprintrc ( KDE3)
B) From http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDEPrint :
-These pages were for the project co-ordination of KDEPrint in KDE3. KDEPrint is no longer used in KDE4 and has been replaced by the Qt printing infrastructure and the system-config-printer tool. Some useful information has been transferred to http://community.kde.org/Printing for reference purposes.

So as KDEPrint is no longer available, how I can createit and what to put in it.

Thank you for helping.

have you looked at http://www.nfec.de/2012/03/installing-f ... suse-12-1/
The solution to that is to simply create the folder nxsetup is not able to find:
jupiter:/home/nf # mkdir /usr/lib64/cups/backend/ipp

Than I executed the nxsetup again (“nxsetup –install –setup-nomachine-key”) as already mentioned above and it ran successful this time:

I have no installation problem.
Freenx was updated until 18.08.2008.
Freenx search for things which exists in KDE3 (kdeprintrc) but which are not in KDE4.
Hence my question : kdeprintrc replacement in kde4 ?

In KDE 4, the KDEPrint system was replaced with the Qt 4 printing system. My guess would be that it is configured through the Qt 4 configuration file in that case. Please see ~/.config/Trolltech.conf.

I do not know what options NX needs to tweak in particular, however I do know that Qt 4 supports CUPS (and LPR too I think, although this is removed from Qt 5).
