I beliee this is a KDE 3.5.5 problem as kprinter, kcmshell printers cannot 
connect to CUPS! I can print using other protocals such as lpr, using 
kprinter, but these do not allow full setup of the printers and CUPS is 
supposed to be working!

Trying to do just this is how I found out that I could no longer get into 
CUPS.
