User Can't Print from Text Editor Using Red Hat 7.3

He can print a file using terminal services only. If he tries to print using KEdit or similar editor, the following message is produced:

"Unable to start child print process. The KDE Print Server (kdeprintd) could not be contacted. Check to see that this server is running."

Root CAN print from Kedit, or anywhere for that matter.

Check the permissions on /dev/lp0 or /dev/parport0 (can't remember which it is in RedHat 7.3) to see if anybody can write to them. They probably have too restrictive permissions.
