Note that the normal way of doing is through the use of httpConnect() from CUPS, but I introduced a pre-connection through the use of KDE framework. The problem was that I got a lot of bug reports of GUI freezing: the freeze occured in httpConnect, which probably was waiting for some network timeout instead of returning NULL directly. As the CUPS calls are done synchronously, it froze the interface. After getting a lot of complained, I introduced this ugly hack using asynchronous KDE network API. After this pre-connection has been done, normally all other connections are done through regular CUPS API.
