I did security updates, and installed some additional packages.

Thanks for sending your configs.  Part of the problem is that I'm not 
yet familiar with debian, so there may be a tool that I'm unaware of 
that would help here.  However, since printing from the CLI works, it 
does seem to be a kde problem, so I would have expected kcontrol to be 
the place to fix it.  There I am completely unable to attach a 
networked printer.  The menu items for server are greyed out.
