           Summary: kprinter does not recognize CUPS printer instances and
                    their options (~/.cups/lpoptions)
           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: fthommen embl de


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

When printing through CUPS with `kprinter`, CUPS printer instances added with `lpoptions -p ...` are not recognized and not available in kprinter's popup-menu.  Only centrally installed printers and centrally installed printer instances from /etc/cups/lpoptions are seen.  If printer instances are defined in ~/.lpoptions, kprinter sees them, but the `lpoptions` command adds them always to ~/.cups/lpoptions.

This problem exists in Fedora FC6 with KDE 3.5.6/CUPS 1.2.7-1.8 and Fedore FC5 with KDE 3.5.5/CUPS 1.2.8-1
