I found the following files:
 ~/.kde/share/config/kdeprintrc:
  [$Version]
  update_info=kdeprintrc.upd:kde-3.1-toolbar
  [Jobs]
  Size=550,250

 ~/.kde/share/config/kprinterrc
  [KPrinter Settings]
  ApplicationOptions=
  DialogReduced=true
  PrintCommand=
  Printer=HPLaserjet5L

 /opt/kde/share/config/kdeprintrc
  [General]
  PrintSystem=cups
  Orientation=1
  ViewType=1
  ViewToolBar=false
  ViewMenuBar=true
  ViewPrinterInfos=true

There is no ~/.kde3 or similar directory.

No output, although it is checkboxed in top secret k&d%e/b=u?g!d§i"a(l$o)g.

There is a lot of output and I don't have the time tonight to analyze it. If 
the above doesn't give you any new hints, I'll just get back to you when I 
have looked at the strace output.

Thanks again for your patience,
