This might be related to a now-fixed problem the popped up with
KDEPrint: namely the CUPS server does not allow remote connections
and KDEPrint connected to the server remotely, even if the CUPS
server was local. The solution is to configure the CUPS server to
accept remote connections from your subnet (or use the @LOCAL
keyword, refer to CUPS documentation). If your CUPS server is local,
a more brute fix is to set "ServerName" to "localhost" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
and restart the CUPS server.
