kprinter polling

Hi list,

I am using kprinter in KDE 3.3.1 together with CUPS 1.1.22
I have the following problem:
When kprinter is started (from an application or command line), it seems to 
look around for print servers with the result, that my router (that connects 
my LAN to the Internet) starts a connection to the internet (and I pay).

I have not found any way, to tell kprinter to just use the locally running 
CUPS server, and not poll around. Nothing else in KDE gives this problem, so 
I suppose, my network settings are correct.

Does anybody have an idea, how to stop this behaviour?

Thanks a lot,
Frank

PS: Everything is printing fine, but this is annoying and expensive.
