Sorry for the late reply, had to do some project work.

Actually, the symptoms are as follows:

kcmshell printmgr starts the manager without problems. The system does not 
hang when I try to invoke printmgr via konqueror. It seems as if the printmgr 
is not loaded. How doe konqueror know which kcmshell module to load ? Maybe 
there is something wrong....

Sorry for the ignorance of my side, but I am just a cancer researcher with a 
bit of computer knowledge.

Aside that, a new problem emerged. The cups server does not see any other cups 
server. Firewall is down, ipp:631 works and I can connect to the client to 
other servers. The port seems free... any idea ?

Many thanks !
