Those files should be found in $KDEDIR/libs/kde3/, IIRC. As far as I know,
they should be part of the kdelibs3-cups package. Anyway, if you can see
the list of printers in the print dialog, then you have those files
installed. OTOH, common causes for your problem are:
1) KDEPrint fails to load the driver properly, it would help if you'd
post the PPD file use for your printer (it's located in /etc/cups/ppd/)
2) CUPS has some access restriction defined in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
