+>The <acronym

+> KIOSlave gives quick access to browse different &tdeprint; sections via <quote
+>virtual folders</quote
+>. These folders provide some information about and quick access to your print subsystem.</para>

+<para
+><command
+>print:/</command
+> represents one more of those useful KIOSlaves implemented by &kde;. To access it, just type <userinput
+>print:/ </userinput
+> into the address field of &konqueror;. <userinput
+>print:/ </userinput
+> doesn't purely provide <quote
+>read-only</quote
+> access to your print subsystem, but it also allows you to change settings of your printers, of your print system and lets you create new printers and classes.</para>

+<para
+>Note, that some of the views and actions offered do heavily depend on the print subsystem that is installed on your box and presently activated for &kde;. Pages showing printer information display only those parts that are valid for the &kde; selected print subsystem. (So if you normally run <acronym
+>CUPS</acronym
+>, but switched temporarily to <quote
+>Generic UNIX LPD Printing</quote
+>, which is possible, you will see less printer info, because LPD is not capable of using the same amount of print settings as are possible in CUPS).</para>
