Maybe everybody is busy checking out KDE 4.1. ;-)

I suppose trying to print from other KDE applications (e.g. Konqueror) 
results in the same error message. If yes, then this is indeed not the 
most appropriate forum for your problem since it is a general problem 
with printing in KDE. There must be something wrong with your wife's 
printer setup. Since I do not have a printer I have no idea where to 
look.

Maybe google can help? Nah. I found several people reporting the same 
problem, but no good answers.
  http://markmail.org/message/yo6d75hzicw4iy2q
is most likely not applicable. But the advice to look 
at .xsession-errors is useful. So run

  tail -f ~/.xsession-errors

in Konsole and then try to print a message.
