kprinter doesn't work together with CUPS

[Markus Kitzler]

Version: KDE 3.2.1
Installed from: SuSE RPMs 
OS: Linux 

Used LPD-printing system, everything worked properly. Then I installed CUPS 
rpm-packages. CUPS works and is fully accessible via http://localhost:631/. 
Also printing via lpr works fine. But printing via the kprinter-dialog 
(kghostview, openoffice, kmail, etc...) does not work any more. 
 
After submitting a print job by clicking "Print" in the dialog absolutely 
nothing happens: No jobs are displayed on neither the CUPS port 
(http://localhost:631) nor under any kde-jobviewer or lpq. 
 
Have tried to re-install all the relevant rpm-packages (even kde-libs) but did 
not succeed. Not even switching back to the LPD printing system I was using 
before did resolve this problem. Still cannot print via the kprinter-dialog. 

Printing from the kprinter-dialog to a ps-file is possible, though. And I can 
print this ps-file via both cupsdoprint and the lpr-command. 
So, it seems as if the printing-information is not passed on to the 
CUPS-server by the kprinter-dialog. Maybe something internal is broken (?).
