Do you have an idea about when the problem appeared:
- upgrading KDE
- upgrading Qt
- installing the printer
- changing the driver

I downloaded the PPD file from linuxprinting and didn't have any problem
to play with it. So it's not a driver loading problem, but more a
PPD file retrieval problem. What's the URI of the printer? Is the
server mentionned in that URI known in your network?
