Good point, I'm afraid. Feeling more than a little bit silly, here.

As a matter of fact, you must get to the setup menu, open a console (CTRL + ALT
+ F2) , issue the command "mount /dev/hdaX /mnt -t ext2", where X is the
partition you boot from, get back to the configure menu, (don't forget to
reenable hotplug!) and check your settings.
And so did I. All I have that is activated is lprng, which, I believe, is
essential even if I want to print only from a desktop.
But I still can't print, apparently because I can't ping localhost. Is there
any service I unchecled that I need to ping localhost?
I checked your answers, particuliarly in "Konqueror won't release CD". I
sometimes have the same problem and appreciated your answer. I will definitely
try your solution if the problems occurs again. I'd certainly take your advice
rather than Alan Hicks'ssssss on the same matter:
"So don't bitch here. It's a problem specifically with Konqueror, ask
the KDE gurus."

Strangely, said Hicks poses as one of the most helpful member of the community,
since he's on this groups with a happy few others to give this kind kind of
advice almost 24 hour a day. He's participating to this New Book, Not a Single
Answer More, project:

Go figure! It's all figured out for me!
