Going through kcontrol printer configuration, I was hit with an error that cups could not be found (see attached dialog). That was strange because cupsd was running:

Do you have any ideas why kprinter configuration would not be able to see cups?
Just to be clear, kprinter is now tdeprinter.
Run the following (konsole or Alt+F2):
tdecmshell printers
When the dialog appears, look just above the dialog OK/Cancel buttons. On my system I see this:
Server: /var/run/cups/cups.sock
Do you see anything similar?

A bit strange, but yes, I now have the cups.sock interface, but I have a catch 22 that prevents remote printer setup. As a user, you do not have sufficient to generate ppd files for this printer at home (normal HP Laserjet 4). In administrator mode, after selecting the printer and pressing 'Next' the select printer driver page loads, but the Manufacturer List and Printer List are blank -- nada....
Have a look:
That's one I can't explain. (1) user sees manufacturer and printers, but can't gen the ppd, (2) root just can't see the printer in order to be able to generate the ppd file. (God I miss the days of just selecting the PPD instead of a autogenerate on the fly scheme...)
Any thoughts?
