           Summary: KDE doesn't work with CUPS 1.2
           Product: kdeprint
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-print-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: mike easysw com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
Compiler:          GCC 4.0.1 
OS:                Linux

KDE is unable to connect to cupsd using the new domain socket supported by CUPS 1.2, returning instead an error message that the printing system is broken.

In looking at the kdeprint code, it appears that you are not using the CUPS API and thus are missing out on the automatic support for new CUPS features as they become available. Aside from missing domain socket and (I'm guessing) IPv6 support, you also don't seem to support collection attributes which will be necessary to support the new per-page option support...

Anyways, you need to add domain socket support to kdeprint in order to stay compatible with CUPS.
