Did you manage to solve this problem or, if not, have you devised a work

test Michael had suggested to run.

OK, I was able to run a (very short test).
1. created a new (non-root) user; this user can print with kprinter
without any problem
2. the user that had problems with KDEPrint still can't print; same
problems as before. In addition, this user now does not even see
kdeprintd listed any more underneath "kded" when he runs "kdcop"
(the GUI to dcop) -- and the command "dcop kded kdeprintd" now
does return:
"object 'kdeprintd' in application 'kded' not accessible"
Strange.
I've no idea what's going on. But later I'll move away ${HOME}/.kde
for the user with the problem and let him start a virgin KDE session
(previously I had already tried that with the two files kdeprintrc &
kprinterrc in ${HOME}/.kde/share/config/ on their own, but that did
not help...).
But I can't do that right now, sorry.
Cheers,
Kurt

<pre wrap="">Thanks to David Faure, who answered my question on
kde-core-devel, we now know how to make this call on the
commandline. Here it is and also what is returned:
kurt@~> dcop kded kdeprintd print "ls -l" '('
"/tmp/kdeprint.txt" ')' false
object not accessible
kurt@~> ls -l /tmp/kdeprint.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 kurt kurt 13 2007-01-29 17:32 /tmp/kdeprint.txt
And doing the same as root:
root:# dcop --user kurt --list-sessions
Active sessions for user /home/kurt :
.DCOPserver_soprano__0
root:# dcop --session .DCOPserver_soprano__0 --user kurt |grep kded
kded
root:# dcop --session .DCOPserver_soprano__0 --user kurt
kded kdeprintd print "ls -l" '(' "/tmp/kdeprint.txt" ')' false
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
6119
root:# dcop --session .DCOPserver_soprano__0 --user kurt
kded kdeprintd print "ls -l" '(' "/tmp/kdeprint.txt" ')' true
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
6134
root:# ls -l /tmp/kdeprint.txt
/bin/ls: /tmp/kdeprint.txt: No such file or directory
Does this provide more clue now?

<pre wrap="">You should try a command that produces some result, in order to
check if it's actually executed. Maybe a "ls -l > /tmp/debug.txt"
can work, or even a "touch /tmp/debug.txt" (remove the file first,
"touch" should recreate it).
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">Good idea. But trying it only proofs in a different way, that the
"dcop kded kdeprintd print" call fails:
(a) if "/tmp/debug.txt" does already exist:
dcop kded kdeprintd print "touch" '(' "/tmp/debug.txt" ')' false
Error message pops up, see below (*) for its content.
(b) if "/tmp/debug.txt" does already exist:
dcop kded kdeprintd print "touch" '(' "/tmp/debug.txt" ')' true
Same error message pops up, see below (*) for its content;
however "/tmp/debug.txt" is indeed removed (as it should be,
according to the "true" in the dcop call).
(c) if "/tmp/debug.txt" does *not* already exist:
dcop kded kdeprintd print "touch" '(' "/tmp/debug.txt" ')' true
A warning pops up, see below (**) for its content.
Of course, for each of the tests, "/tmp/" and/or "/tmp/debug.txt"
were world readabable/writeable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(*) Content of error notification popping up:
Headline says : "Catastrophe! KNotify"
Message is : "
A print error occurred. Error message received
from system:
touch: execution failed with message:
touch: missing file operan Try `touch --help'
for more information.
"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(**) Content of the warning popping up:
Headline says : "Warning - KDE Daemon"
Message is : "
Some of the files to print are not readable by
the KDE print daemon. This may happen if you
are trying to print as a different user to the
one currently logged in. To continue printing,
you need to provide root's password.
