Well, not that much. KDEPrint should use "localhost" on any IPP request.
This shouldn't trigger any external connection or DNS lookup. Connection
to server mentionned un the printer URI (that used to trigger external
connection and sometimes GUI lock-up) has been disabled since KDE-3.2.
Maybe you can try to define your CUPS server (in kdeprint settings) as
"127.0.0.1" although I doubt it would change anything.
