Hello Everyone,
I am the developer of TEENpup Linux and use the embedded Print Manager inside Konqueror to configure and to add new printers.

Please look at this example

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Exec=konqueror --profile filemanagement
DocPath=konqueror/index.html
Icon=konq.png
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true
Name=File Manager (Konqueror)
Categories=FileManager

If you look at this line

Exec=konqueror --profile filemanagement

Konqueror will start not as a Web Browser but as a File Manager.

My question is in relation to the above line.
What do I change --profile filemanagement to, to get the Print manager to open.

See picture to see what I want to open.
file:///root/printer.jpg

This relates to KDE 3.5.4

I don't see the picture, but i am assuming you want to open "print:/manager".
So go to the profile manager with "print:/manager" open. Make a new profile, call it e.g. "printmanager" and be sure to tick "Save adresses in profile". Now you should see "print:/manager" in the address bar whenever you open that profile.
And now you can change the line to

Code: Select all

Exec=konqueror --profile printmanager (or whatever you called it)


I hope that was what you meant.

Hello neverendingo,
This is exactly what I wanting. I created the new profile and it now appears in Konqueror under
settings> load view profile> Print Manager

I modified the desktop file in usr/share/applications but keep getting an error box with "Malformed URL" in it as konqueror starts. Once I close that message konqueror opens and I can't select any profile at all and have to close konqueror again.

In the desktop file I've tried.

Exec=konqueror --profile printmanager
Exec=konqueror --profile Print Manager
Exec=konqueror --profile PrintManager

and keep getting that error message? The profile was created with the wording and spelling Print Manager

Ok, did you try without whitespace? I mean the profile name

Perhaps also try running it like this konqueror --profile "Print Manager". running KDE 4.1.2 ( upgrading to 4.1.3 right now ) and that worked for me.

Well bcooksley,
You did it by put --profile "Print Manager" it now works, Excellent!!
Also thank you to neverendingo for your advice and knowing what I wanted to do.

This improvement to accessing the print wizard via Konqueror will be added to the next release of TEENpup Linux. Again thank you.

No problem. Please mark this thread as solved ( edit thee subject to contain [SOLVED] )
